Crowned by Jennifer Chance

Psychologist-in-training Francesca Simmons would like to think she can help anyone, as long as she keeps herself centered, focused…controlled. Then she meets a man in desperate need of that zen-state serenity–and he makes her absolutely crazy. Worse, this isn’t any ordinary trauma survivor, it’s the lost crown prince of Garronia. And if Francesca gets too close to him, she may shatter more than her self-control. Her whole carefully constructed world could fall apart.

Ryker Stavros has been rotting in prison his entire life–the life he can remember anyway, which began a year ago in fire and pain. When an angel steps out of Garronia and into his world with maddeningly cool hands and gentle words that set his soul on fire, he knows she’s only trying to help…but the devil in him won’t rest until he makes her his. What makes us who we truly are? Our thoughts, our actions or our hearts? On the sun-swept shores of Garronia, the answer could change everything.
