The castle slept under the weight of midnight guards. And the garden, where roses even in winter, the princess walked alone barefoot, quiet, free for the first time in days. She didn’t hear the knight until his armor shifted behind her 
Everyone knows the crown prince is untouchable—cold, precise, and always in control. Everyone, that is, except Isidora, the quiet maid who moves like a shadow and sees everything, yet bows to no one. She wasn’t supposed to be here, not in his chambers, not in his world. But fate has other plans. And for the first time, the untouchable prince meets someone who refuses to yield, someone who refuses to be tamed. Now Alaric must confront the one challenge he’s never mastered: a woman who won’t bend
He’s been in my life for as long as I can remember. Always quiet, always protective, always there… but I never saw him that way. Until everything I thought I had fell apart.
