Prince’s Desires by Austin Bates

JAMES
The plan was simple: get married, get Reid pregnant with my heir, get my throne. There was nothing in it about falling in love.
I’ve never made love my top priority. And I’ve occasionally been accused of being difficult. The word entitled has been mentioned. I maintain that a certain degree of ego is necessary to be king. And I’ve never been shy about stating that’s my goal.The first one to provide an heir will succeed my grandmother on the throne. With at least one of my cousins being a viable rival, I need a sure thing.Reid Harrison is the only name worth considering.I tell myself its because I know my ex-boyfriend has already given birth once, the daughter he had with his deceased husband. And that I know I can ensure his cooperation by providing for his daughter’s future. That works for a time.The truth is, I miss him. I thought he’d never give me another chance. I’m not sure this is the way to get it now. But I have to try.After all, nobody’s ever accused me of lacking ambition. I’m already aiming for a throne, why not a happily ending with the love of my life while I’m at it?

REID
James Cobb broke my heart once. And now I’m about to let him do it again.Getting over the beautiful but self-absorbed prince was one of the hardest things I ever did. I don’t know if I could’ve if it hadn’t been for my eventual husband, Alex.But I didn’t think I’d ever move on after Alex either.Having our daughter to focus on helped. I just have to remember I’m doing this for her now too. Only I’m not totally sure that’s true.At least James was honest from the start about his real agenda, I tell myself. And down a slippery slope I go, with no clue if he’ll actually catch me at the bottom this time. Giving him the benefit of the doubt screwed me once. I really hope it won’t again. Because I’m already pregnant, and now we’re bound for life.
