An Auction of Roses - Season to Love, #1

Prince Guénaël is caught in the midst of a scandal not of his own making. To protect the family name, ius auction, an archaic practice that transfers responsibility for a minor to a protector, has been called. The winning bidder not only wins Gen, but the control over his vast properties. Prince Lairgnen, Chosen counselor to Anwyll, king of Kizerain, is sent to Merifael in the hopes of discovering the truth and putting a stop to the auction.
What neither man knows is that the Goddess has plans of her own.
