How To Seduce A Princess (With Your Own Novel)
Kaelan Redhand, a clerk in his family's Timberlake bookstore, dreams of adventure and true love but has neither. A gifted writer, he performs public readings from his manuscript, The Wandering Prince, inspired by the kingdom's princess. When a stranger visits the shop seeking new titles, Kaelan pitches his novel. Impressed, the man reveals himself as a representative from the Royal Publishing House and signs Kaelan on the spot-under a pen name, since "Kaelan Redhand" wouldn't sell.
Months later, Kaelan learns his novel has become a sensation, praised for its unique story. With newfound wealth comes secrecy-but locals soon connect the dots. Several women try to court him, but he sees they're after fame and fortune, not him. Using his earnings to hire a replacement, he leaves Timberlake to search for genuine love beyond its borders.
Meanwhile, Princess Seraphina Aegor is suffocated by palace life. Though not heir to the throne, she's trapped by expectations, courted only by boring noblemen. One day, she notices her handmaiden absorbed in a viral romance novel. Curious, Seraphina reads it and is captivated-the protagonist's longing for freedom and love mirrors her own.
Inspired, she secretly learns magic and survival skills to escape. One night, she flees the palace, unaware her father, the King, has dispatched three Royal Guards-Captain Jaeger, Haati, and Karlo-to watch over her from a distance.
Seraphina and Kaelan cross paths when she tumbles down a slope during a climbing mishap, landing beside him. Drawn to his warmth and sincerity, she joins him on his journey. Neither realizes Kaelan wrote the novel she adores-or that she is the muse behind it.
Their magical road-trip adventure begins.
