At seventeen, Ella, a clever, sharp-tongued orphan with nothing to her name, is brought into the royal palace. Not as family. Not as a guest. She's chosen to be the secret lover of Crown Princess Isla.
Isla is bound by duty: marry a foreign prince, secure an alliance, protect the crown. But she loves women, and the court knows it. The royal council offers her a deal. She may keep a hidden lover, as long as she stays obedient. Ella is that lover, placed in the palace under the cover of being a caretaker for the baby heir.
Ella is watched closely by Rhea, a nineteen-year-old bodyguard assigned to keep her in line.
Rhea is flirtatious, possessive, and cruelly charming. Ella knows she shouldn't get close. She belongs to Isla. Politically, physically, emotionally. And Rhea is supposed to control her, not want her.
In the palace, love is a weapon. And Ella is running out of time.
