Royal Heir’s Secret Admirer

Sam Winston is written off as a destitute bastard until the Duke of Nordvia brings him and his mother to the capital, exposing Sam as the legitimate royal heir. Damon Ellington, once first in line to the throne, falls to second upon Sam’s arrival and appears merely a resentful rival. Still, he feels an unexplainable pull toward Sam from their first meeting. To remain near him, Damon forces Sam’s tutor to resign and undertakes training Sam to rule. Sam takes this as blatant provocation amid their rivalry. He also observes Damon constantly lingering around his mother, lavishing attention on her. Believing Damon pursues his mother, Sam tries hard to wreck their supposed affair—only to learn Damon’s real affection belongs to him.
