The man in the corner-the guard assigned by our families to ensure the union is 'properly consummated' watches us with dispassionate eyes. It makes my skin crawl, but then Tim shifts his hips, and a sharp gasp tears from my throat, drowning out everything else. I bury my face in the crook of his neck to hide from the guard, inhaling the scent of sandalwood and expensive whiskey. My fingers dig into his shoulders as the rhythm builds. "Tell me something about you," he murmurs against my hair, his voice ragged but clear despite the exertion. "What?" I moan, confused and dizzy, pressing my lips to the damp skin of his neck in a desperate attempt to anchor myself. He slows his pace just enough to force me to focus, pulling back slightly so he can look me in the eye, even as his body remains connected to mine. "I want to get to know my wife."

Lucy Chen thought she had her life figured out-until everything fell apart. Two weeks after her breakup with Tim Bradford, the man who once felt like home, Lucy is barely speaking to him and trying to find her own path. Living with heartbreak (and her best friend) , she discovers something that changes everything: she's pregnant. Not ready to face the past, she asks for a transfer far from California, keeping her secret close to her heart. When she moves to Hawaii, she starts over-buys a house, makes new friends, and prepares for a future that no one could have predicted. But life has a way of turning the unexpected into something magical. Nine months later, Lucy welcomes three beautiful, spirited children into the world: two girls and a boy, each with their own quirks, challenges, and unshakable charm. For three years, Lucy raises her children with love, laughter, and stories of a man they've never met, showing them a photo of their father so they'll know what he looks like. And while she builds a life in Hawaii, her heart quietly wonders if the past will ever catch up. When Lucy finally returns to California, she's not prepared for the chaos and joy that follow. A casual trip to the station becomes a whirlwind of emotions when her children almost run into someone who doesn't yet know they're his. Tim Bradford. And when he hugs her, it's like no time has passed-but everything has changed. Now, Lucy and Tim navigate laughter, tears, and the unspoken past as she introduces their children to a father they never knew. From playground ice cream to bedtime stories, they learn what it means to be a family-messy, beautiful, and imperfectly perfect. With love, heartbreak, second chances, and three little hearts that tie them together forever, The Prince in the Picture is a heartfelt, emotional story that will make you laugh, cry, and fall in love with the chaos and wonder of family life all over again.
