A death that wasn’t what it seemed ... A kidnapping that isn’t what it seems ... Time is running out.
The morning after his wedding night, Prince Marcelo thought he’d be embarking on a journey to his own personal fairytale happily ever after with his husband Efren, the crown prince of Zioneven. But when news arrives indicating his sister’s death wasn’t as accidental as previously thought, that journey becomes fraught with danger.
Enmeshed in political intrigue, death, and a kidnapping that might not be what it seems, will Efren untangle the web of misleading clues in time to save the naïve young man he’s already come to admire? Or will Marcelo dig deep to discover a previously untapped inner strength and determination to facilitate his own survival?

Book 2 ‘The Best Made Plans ‘ ’ is a continuation with the marriage of Princes’ Efren and Marcelo. This story in an alternate world where for eighteen years, there has been a peace treaty between the kingdoms of Sheburat and the kingdom of Zioneven.
Crown Prince Efren was to marry the daughter of Sheburat when she turned 18. Sheburat is a matriarchal sovereignty, where the women reign and the males are not included in any of the politics etc. The women are better educated and more informed.
Prince Efren arrives for his wedding and the people of Sheburat have been mourning the death of the Princess; the bride to be. The Queen offers her next daughter in line who is not quite 18 yet and Prince Efren offers a shocking idea. He wishes not to wait but to marry her son Prince Marcelo instead.
The Prince has been raised to understand in this world he will never marry. His education had been stopped with the girls being groomed to achieve power and be worldly. He is a kind and intelligent young man and Efren sees him as a partner.
We watch as Marcelo and Efren attraction grows. We learn there is much intrigue in the castle learning the Princess’s death may not be an accident. The return to Zioneven is fraught with intrigue, kidnapping. Marcelo has to use his wits to help himself something he is not trained to do. Efren and his men are at a loss to where Marcelo is……This is an ACTION PACKED NOVELLA……Great story…
