In the years before she knew what heartbreak really was, all that mattered to Princess Estelle Hughes was love, the love she found in village rogue, Ethan Grant-or at least she thought she did, but the world is harsh, and love is fickle.
After Ethan left her to pursue his career, Estelle turned her focus to becoming the next Queen of Douboden. A contestant for the throne, she would never let anyone stop her - except maybe a new guest. 'Colonel' Ethan is back, and he seems to have forgotten that they were ever in love.
But as their interactions blossom into friendship once again, Estelle is torn between returning to their past love and pursuing the throne. As Ethan's memories start to resurface, old wounds reopen, tears are shed and the two begin to realise that they are forever bonded - whether they like it or not.
