When Madeline takes a palace job to support her sick mother and two little sisters, she expects long hours, quiet corners, and invisible service. What she doesn't expect is to cross paths with Olivier-the same frustrating, smug man she once met by a river-now revealed to be the king himself.
Caught between grief, duty, and a life she never asked for, Madeline is thrust into a world of silks and secrets. As tensions rise and walls begin to fall, she discovers there's more to the crown than power-and more to the king than charm. But love doesn't always arrive gently. It crashes like a storm, pulls you under, and asks what you're willing to risk for it.

What begins as duty ignites into something deeper, ... a love neither of them can deny. And when the flames rise, one truth becomes clear: he would burn the world to protect her- and she would burn beside him.Complete
