not a fairytale

Logan Alandro was never meant to be king. As the second-born prince, his life was all money, no consequences. Fast cars, wild nights, and an all-access pass to do whatever the hell he wanted. No responsibilities. No pressure. Just freedom.

And Juliette Lombardo was part of that freedom. She had her own carefree life in Venice-a low-stress job she never had to think too hard about and no family ties weighing her down. Every few months, she'd let Logan sweep her away on some wild, over-the-top vacation. They'd drink too much, laugh too loud, and fall into bed like nothing else in the world existed. No strings. No complications.

But everything changes overnight.

When Logan's older brother abdicates, he's blindsided. Suddenly, the weight of the kingdom is on his shoulders, and the life he's always known is gone. No more freedom. No more running away.

Before he can even ask her, Juliette makes the choice for him. She leaves her peaceful life behind and goes back to her powerful Sicilian family-the one she ran from years ago-just so she can stand by him. The world sees a runaway socialite turned future queen, but only Logan knows the truth: she came back for him.

Now, they're battling royal politics, old family grudges, and dangerous enemies determined to see them fall. Their love is under a microscope, their loyalty is being tested, and Juliette is learning the hard way that life with a crown isn't always a fairytale.
