Within the Walls- The Evermere Series: Book One
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.
