A prince hiding from his crown.
A girl who never meant to be seen.
When Prince Alaric walks through the small-town market of Eldermere in disguise, he doesn't expect to fall in love. But one brief collision with a girl carrying a basket of apples changes everything. She disappears before he can learn her name, leaving behind a feeling he cannot ignore.
Elowen Ashwill is ordinary. She works the market stalls, cares for her family, and believes love is not meant for people like her. She has no idea a prince keeps returning to the same streets just to catch a glimpse of her, or that a royal ball is being planned for one girl alone.
As lanterns glow over cobblestone streets, secrets begin to surface, and two worlds slowly collide. But loving across a crown and a common life comes with risks neither of them are prepared for.
A soft, slow-burn small-town romance filled with longing, quiet moments, and a love that grows in the spaces between duty and desire.
