Princess Aurora has spent eighteen years turning royal expectations into royal disasters. She sneaks out of palace galas in designer gowns and combat boots, disappears into underground clubs with fake names, and wakes up in places that make the royal press team panic.

Princess Seraphine was never meant to wear the enemy king’s crown.

Alex Monroe, 24, is a royal security guard assigned to protect Princess Hazel Everhart, second in line to the throne.
