A Forfeit Owed — Katrina Strauss

In a monarchy where one marries for love, two brothers vie for a maiden's affections.

As the daughter of a disowned noble, Korinne has few options. Taken in by wealthy relatives, she finds life among nobility far from glamorous. Instead of being an equal, she's forced to wait on her cousins hand and foot, which leaves her wishing fairy godmothers were more than the stuff of childhood tales.

And then Korinne visits the royal palace where she finds herself wooed by not one but two handsome princes. The battle for her hand leads to sensual encounters beyond her wildest dreams and Korinne discovers that fairy tales can come true -- but at what cost?

Born third in line to the throne, Trystan is a sensitive poet with a penchant for mischief. Favored by his mother but at odds with his father, the young prince struggles with a heritage he never asked for. Locked in an ongoing game of forfeits with his brother, Crown Prince Darius, Trystan is determined to one-up his opponent in their battle of wit versus brawn.

When the brothers secretly bid on Korinne's affections, Trystan will do whatever it takes to best Darius, even if it means sharing the prize in the short-term. But when Trystan truly falls for Korinne, the biggest forfeit at stake is his heart.
