An engagement ring given to an American girl by European royalty. Neither knew the importance of the ring until the wedding was thrust upon them. After the chance meeting between the two girls, Anastasia spends the intervening years learning how to rule Ixica, a small country in Europe. When her father dies suddenly, though prepared to rule, she must marry to become Queen. When questioned about the ring, she must travel to find the girl that had stolen her heart and find out if she remembers her, still has her ring, and would give up her American dream to return to help her rule Ixica. Jamie's dreams are coming to fruition. She thought she had it all – a boyfriend about to propose and a promotion she’s worked hard for. When her boyfriend puts their relationship on hold, speculating she doesn't truly love him, she is crushed. A kiss from a woman at a bar sparks the memory of a girl from her past who gave her a promise ring many years before. Was her crush real? Hannah Willow decided to start writing when she felt the LGBTQ population was underrepresented in urban fantasy and other romance genres. Hannah grew up reading fantasy and science fiction. Her lesbian mother instilled a love of reading in her, but the books she read had homogeneous characters. She wants to bring something new to readers. The idea that they are thinking about what she writes, questioning her stories, and maybe a bit excited about future books makes it all worth it.
