Erralee D'Long My fate was stolen the day my arrogant father made a deal to save his country. Now, I've promised to marry a powerful king of a faraway kingdom. Sounds like a fairy tale, but it's a nightmare. The only feelings I have for this man is dread, dread, and more dread. My one hope for happiness is to stop this wedding, and to do that I must run away. Reeves Mathews Discharged from the army, with a pat on the back and a prosthetic hand, all I want is a fresh start. I'm happy to score the last plot of farmland from the king's recent auction. Excited to get on with my life alone, everything is going according to plan until a snowstorm traps the beautiful girl next door at my house. Did I mention she's beautiful? As hard as I try to fight our connection, I can't deny there's something there. Oh, yeah, I forgot to say she's also a princess, who is engaged to a king who owns the most powerful army. Lucky me, right? Royally Rugged is an opposite world, off-limits, forced proximity, sweet RomDram with all the feels.
