The handsome heir cannot marry the maid and turn her into a princess, for Elena is already that. She is a princess with two nations chasing her, two nations determined to keep Elena and David apart and to take Elena home.

Princess Aria of Evermere has everything a royal girl is supposed to want: gowns of silk, tea with nobility, and a life of order within the palace walls. But Aria has never cared much for "supposed to." Trapped by duty, grief, and a father who treats her like a pawn, Aria dreams of a life beyond the marble halls-one that doesn't involve arranged courtships, kingdom politics, or her every move being reported by royal guards. When a childhood friend returns with a charming smile and mischief in his eyes, and a stern, disciplined royal guard is assigned to her side, Aria finds herself caught between comfort and challenge, safety and longing. But love is dangerous in a world where alliances are everything-and even affection can be used as leverage. As tensions rise in the kingdom and a suitor she despises is invited into her life, Aria must choose: obey the role she was born into, or risk everything for a future she craves for herself. A slow-burn fantasy romance filled with political intrigue, stolen moments, and a heroine who refuses to be tamed.

And then Charlotte does what Dominic least expects: she gives up on him! As feigned indifference gives way, blistering passion burns at last. But just before the pair can give in to their hard-won bliss, an enemy with unfinished business lurks, threatening to destroy them both.
