"Sleeping Beauty of Ashwood"
In the luxurious town of Ashwood lives a girl everyone calls the "Sleeping Princess."
Seraphina Ashwood is beautiful, gentle, unbelievably rich... and incredibly lazy. She sleeps anywhere she feels comfortable on velvet couches, beneath garden trees, inside libraries, and even during elegant parties. No matter how embarrassing it is, her parents never scold her. After all, she is the only daughter of the powerful Ashwood family their precious little princess.
For Seraphina, life is simple.
Soft pillows.
Warm blankets.
Peaceful naps.
That is all she needs...
But her quiet, sleepy world begins to change the moment Lucien Vale returns from abroad.
Cold, intimidating, and breathtakingly handsome, Lucien is the heir to the Vale empire. With piercing siren-like eyes, effortless elegance, and a dangerous charm that makes everyone nervous around him, he arrives in Ashwood expecting to meet the perfect refined fiancée chosen by their families.
Instead...
He finds Seraphina asleep in the middle of the grand staircase.
And somehow, from that very moment, he falls hopelessly in love.
While Seraphina only dreams about naps and quiet afternoons, Lucien slowly becomes part of her peaceful world spoiling her, protecting her, and discovering the hidden sadness behind her sleepy eyes.
But Ashwood is not as perfect as it seems.
Old family rivalries begin to resurface.
Secrets buried for years slowly come to light.
And Seraphina herself may be connected to a mystery capable of changing both their lives forever.
As love quietly blooms between the cold-hearted heir and the sleeping princess, one question remains
Will Seraphina finally awaken to love?
Or will the secrets of Ashwood tear them apart before they even begin?
