In process of being rewritten. 

Matthew Wild is not the sole offspring of the Duke and Duchess of Canterbury. His sister, Katharina, affectionately known as Kathy among close circles, is a cherished member of the family, and Matthew holds a protective stance over her. However, when Kathy and their family receive invitations to a prestigious three-night ball, the occasion takes on a unique significance: it's an opportunity for the prince to select a new bride.

The prince in question, notorious for his reputation of infidelity, vulgarity, and charming in all the wrong ways, is a cause for concern. Yet, in the world of aristocratic secrets, what remains undisclosed is often assumed to be harmless.

If it's one thing Phoenix Charles knew, it's that not all that glitters is gold. So when Kai Bae - Hockey superstar, 3 time 'Most Handsome Man' winner and all of Toronto's most eligible bachelor - suddenly took interest in her and only her, she knew something was off, she knew she should run for the hills. Fairytales, Prince Charming and happily ever afters were nothing short of a fantasy to coo little kids to sleep. Phoenix was sure. So how was one night, one conversation, one look in those brown eyes enough to have her sold? To have her muting the volume on her common sense that screamed at her to shut it down? She scored the jackpot! Or so she thought. Heartbreak is one thing. Couple that with betrayal and twisted secrets and even the most solid fairytale is not immune to coming to an end. Again Phoenix is reminded, there is no such thing as happily ever afters, no such thing as a prince out there waiting for her. She kissed the frog, married the beast, expecting the best, only to quickly realize he is nothing short of a fraud... or is he? ~•~•|•~•~ "There is a season for everything... A time to born and a time to die... A time to love and a time to hate" Ecclesiates 3:1, 2 and 8

At Randy's sister's wedding, Liam begins to see a different side to his so-called "enemy". What happens when Randy decides he's interested by Liam's witty comebacks and snarky attitude? Watch Liam, Randy, and their crew navigate the worlds of love, friendship, 4:00am mental breakdowns resulting in a new hair color, and possibly fist-sized holes in walls.
