A Royal Chapter In Isla Verde

She came to Isla Verde to forget a man.
She never expected to find a prince.

After five years of loving Mark, Theandra Annaliese La Verde thought she knew what love meant-until one confession destroyed everything she believed in.

With a broken heart and no reason to stay, Thea escapes to the quiet shores of Isla Verde, hoping the sea can silence the memories she can't.

Then, one stormy night, she finds a stranger washed ashore.

His name is Evan.

He says he's only a traveler.

But nothing about him feels ordinary.

He speaks languages Thea has never heard him study. Mysterious men in expensive suits seem to be searching for him. He knows far too much about things he shouldn't. And around his finger is a golden ring engraved with a crest he refuses to explain.

Thea knows she should stay away.

Instead, she falls for him.

But just when she begins to believe that maybe love deserves a second chance, Evan disappears.

And the truth she uncovers is far more dangerous than she ever imagined.

Evan isn't a traveler.

He's Crown Prince Edward Alexander von Valenstadt, heir to the throne of Aethelgard-and the man whose life has been carefully planned long before Thea ever entered it.

Now, the prince has returned to his kingdom.

The girl who never wanted to love again has become the one person the crown cannot afford to accept.

Between royal secrets, an arranged marriage, political enemies, and a past Evan has desperately tried to escape, Thea begins to wonder:

Was their love ever meant to happen?

Or was she simply the biggest secret the prince was never supposed to keep?

And when the truth finally comes to light, they will have to choose-

the crown, the kingdom, or each other.
