Michaela isn't the type to believe in fairytales, happy endings, or people.
She's the kind of girl who rolls her eyes at cheesy rom-coms, keeps her circle small (by choice, of course), and would much rather spend her time with a book than deal with the drama of high school. But life, as always, has other plans.
First, there are the letters. They show up out of nowhere, stuffed into her locker and bag, written by someone who knows way too much about her. They're ridiculous, cringe-worthy, and yet... strangely sweet.
Then there's Bella, her boy-crazy best friend who's navigating a messy break-up, Sam, the world's most annoying housemate, and Lyra, whose life is full of secrets Michaela accidentally stumbles upon. Oh, and let's not forget Lee-the boy she swears she's over, even though her heart clearly disagrees.
Michaela's sarcastic, guarded world is falling apart, and for the first time, she might have to let someone in.
An Ewe princess named Ayodele finds herself entangled in a web of royal intrigue and forbidden romance. From the moment Ayodele sets foot in the Korean court, she knows she's in for a whirlwind of challenges. The Crown Prince, her betrothed since childhood, is a complex and brooding figure who can't seem to decide whether to embrace their arranged marriage or rebel against it. As Ayodele tries to adjust to the customs and expectations of the Korean nobility, she can't help but clash with the traditional ways of the palace.
