Royal Dilemma

Being royalty is great and all, but it makes getting close to people pretty challenging. Caleb has all but given up on making friends or finding a girl that likes him for who he is rather than his money or status.

Charli grew up being consistently disappointed and let down by the people around her. Combine that with her difficult upbringing and you can say she's been more than a little resistant to her best friend Piper's urging for her to open up and reach out to new people. How could she ever trust someone else?

When Charli and Caleb meet under somewhat difficult circumstances both of their pessimistic views are challenged by the feelings that begin to blossom between them. But Caleb is hiding a few pretty big secrets and before he knows it the lies have gotten out of control.

Can Caleb and Charli overcome the lies, hurt feelings, and broken trust to make it out on the other side?
