The Duchess and the Ace

Yuki Ishikawa is the heart and soul of Japan's Men's Volleyball team, a celebrated athlete known for his intense focus and unwavering dedication to the game. To him, volleyball is everything-his passion, his purpose, his world. With each serve, spike, and match, he's carving his name into sports history, and nothing distracts him from his goals. Until he meets her.

Lana Lang, daughter of the esteemed Duke of Ravenshire and a famed ballerina mother of Japanese-Russian heritage, was born into a life of grace and grandeur. But Lana craves something more than the comfort of titles and ballrooms. She yearns to forge her own path, to discover who she is away from her family's legacy and the weight of her heritage. Her heart pushes her to step beyond her duchess persona and into a world she barely knows.

When Yuki and Lana's worlds collide, it's a meeting of fire and ice, duty and dreams, and the perfect blend of challenge and attraction. Lana is captivated by Yuki's determination, and he is drawn to her spirit. But with the weight of their worlds on their shoulders, can they find a way to bridge the gap between royalty and the court? Or will their differences keep them apart?
