Love in Earnest, or Ride Elle On!

My name is Ryd Ellae. I’m the son of the empire’s commander-in-chief, the ladies’ favorite, and an enviable bachelor. But one restless she-wolf—always getting into trouble—doesn’t want to come to terms with my irresistibility. Not even remotely! I’ll conquer her! That’s what I thought—until the “true pair” syndrome tossed me at her slender feet. Now we’re together, trying to survive, save the emperor, and figure out what we actually feel.
