Two rivaling kingdoms, a stubborn, free-spirited princess, a cold, ruthless prince, two families with a deep history of hatred towards the other and lots of drama; what could go wrong?

Celeste, a feisty and beautiful princess finally returns to her home kingdom after six years of traveling and being taught under some of the most recognized philosophers. Worried about being married to a random prince, she focuses her father's attention on their enemy.

Knox, a short tempered but undoubtedly handsome prince is forced to work with the princess from his rivaling kingdom. Having to deal with his worst enemy is not something he is looking forward to but with the help of his friend, will his perspective change?

Will these two hard headed nobles finally see eye to eye? Will their hatred ever develop into something more? And more importantly, will the hostility between their families ever dissolve?
