"I was starving. Not a soul cared.
The nobles and rich do not care for 'dirt-scum' or 'drunk beggars.' Our King is sick and tired. His heir, the Prince, is a pompous, arrogant, self-absorbed fool. At least, I think so. A beggar has no chance at joy, particularly an orphan one. I am destined to a life of dirt, hard floors, cold, starvation, loneliness, and judgement. I am kicked and scorned; insulted and teased; cold and broken."
When Rose meets the Prince her one desire is to show her wrath.
Forced into servitude for an act of rebellion, Rose discovers the Prince is not all she thought. Despite their pasts, wounds begin to heal and hearts begin to open. But not all are supportive of a friendship between a Prince and a servant...
The Prince wanting to change; the beggar needing to heal; a danger racing towards them.
The fight against her heart is about to turn into the fight for her life.

I hate it to. I have a condition seriously rendering my writing skills. It's called...chronic writer's block. I get this brilliant idea and end up spam-updating and then go for like a month. I'm sorry in advance. I also don't do a lot of author notes so don't expect page-long notes not pertaining to the story. Ok I'm done ranting. Thanks for reading. (If you don't it's ok. Thanks anyway.) None of these pictures and/or videos are mine (unless stated). Not for the light-hearted. (Trigger warning.) Will have abuse depression, and subjects offensive to some people. You have been warned. LATER EDIT- Ok. Hello. Yea so chapters 1 & 2 isn't really the main focus of the book. I re-read them and realized some things. I dislike chapters 1 & 2 but not enough to take them down. Thanks for understanding.
