King...and Cupcakes?

Three missing women. One bridge. One private investigator who should have stayed on her side of it.Cassidy Bakker came looking for answers. She found a kingdom of cupcake towers, a king with trust issues, and a portal that won't reopen for a year.Her assessment? This is a problem.King Lucian is accustomed to bowed heads, compliments, and obedience. Cass offers none of those. She questions his orders, studies his secrets, and saves his life before he's decided whether to arrest her.Now someone wants him dead...and the only person he trusts to find out who is the woman who isn't remotely impressed by his crown.Cass knows better than to get attached. Her little sister is waiting at home, and she has a promise to keep. But beneath Lucian's crown is a lonely man who sees too much, says too little, and makes leaving feel dangerously difficult.As an assassin closes in and attraction turns into something neither can explain away, solving the case may be easier than surviving the goodbye.He can command a kingdom.Convincing her to stay will take more than a crown.
