Everyone in the kingdom knows one thing about their princess: If she’s missing, she isn’t in danger… She’s probably at the flower market, feeding stray cats by the harbor, or convincing another tourist that the royal peacocks are highly trained palace guards. Princess Y/N has spent her whole life believing a crown means knowing the people you serve. But after a security scare gives the Royal Council the excuse they’ve been waiting for, her freedom is stripped away. Suddenly, every outing is monitored, every moment scheduled, and the palace she once called home begins to feel like a cage. The person responsible for keeping her there? Her lifelong friend and impossibly responsible Royal Advisor, Rory Winters. He’s spent years chasing after the princess who never follows the rules… and even longer hiding the fact that he’s hopelessly in love with her. Now, with a kingdom questioning whether Y/N is ready to wear the crown, a council determined to change who she is, and a princess determined to keep escaping anyway, Rory must decide whether his duty is to protect the future queen… or protect the woman she’s always been. After all, the easiest part of his job has always been finding the princess. The hardest part might be letting her steal his heart without ever realizing it.
