In the Kingdom of Pristinia, your bloodline is your destiny, and your gender is your cage.
For Elara Brighton, the rules are simple: stay in your district, keep your head down, and accept that your only value lies in domestic labor. But Elara has never been good at staying silent.
When a family crisis forces her to take a job as a servant within the gilded walls of the Royal Palace, she expects to find only enemies. Instead, she finds a Prince who is as much a prisoner of the crown as she is.
As intrigue turns into a dangerous attraction, Elara must decide if she will follow the rules to survive, or burn the hierarchy down-even if it means losing the man who was born to wear the crown she defies.

Not Even His Assistant
Connor Meyers, Vice President and COO of Meyers Motors, has always been focused on his job and doing it well. As he is currently working on planning the biggest business meeting of his life, one that will merge his company with one in Japan and earn him the title of CEO, he has no desire for distractions. He only has a few months before his meeting and nothing will make him happier than single-handedly managing this and finally getting his father to retire. Greyson Lewis, on the other hand, is a young college student who enjoys her care-free life in Miami, Florida. Her talkative nature surprisingly managed to land her a job in Meyers Motors, and not just any nine to five. She is told she will gain the title of COO, as partner to the current one. She has no idea what the title means, but her need for a summer gig means she won't pass this up. To say Connor is unhappy about this development is an understatement. If his father believes he will partner up with some random college student, he has truly gone insane. Greyson, on the other hand, has no intention of quitting just because her partner is an absolute ass.
