Traces of Her

Ruth Rae Monrose does not ask for much. A stable income and a life lived within family expectations. At thirty-three, she is an expert in making herself small in a world that never asked what she wanted. She does not take risks that she cannot win.

Then Raphaël Grimaldi upends her quiet life.

The heir to Monaco is younger, perceptive and impossible to ignore.

He says he wants her. He says he'll prove it.

But Ruth knows how the world will see her. She is too old, too ordinary, and too different for a man like him. She isn't looking for a fling or a scandal. She wants something real. Something that lasts.

Fairytales belong on screens, not in her life.

Too bad Raphaël Grimaldi has never taken no for an answer.

Traces of Her is about obsession, boundaries, and the terrifying act of choosing yourself first.
