Royal Ruse

Lucas Andino had been summoned by the king...the only problem? He needed a wife...or at least a fiancée which wouldnt have been a problem except...his girlfriend just broke up with him. In desperation he turned to his best friend Francesca-or Frankie as she was known to well everyone. Frankie needed a topic for her sociology dissertation and she needed it yesterday. When Lucas suggested they become fake engaged so he could answer the summons of the king Frankie saw the opportunity for what it was. Who else would have unfettered access to a monarch for their dissertation? Who else could do an up close and personal examination of an emerging nation? Besides Frankie would do anything for Lucas. They were best friends for a reason and if he needed her then she was his girl. So what if she had a tiny crush on him? They were both going into it with their eyes wide open. No one was going to get hurt.
