Every little girl wants to be a princess when they grow up...right? Orphaned at the age of four, Elizabeth has always been haunted by a feeling of loss and loneliness and the unwavering desire to belong. Her life is turned upside down when she arrives home one day to find two strangers claiming to be her parents. Elizabeth quickly realizes that the last 14 years of her life have been a lie, and as the truth unravels she finds out that not only are her parents alive...they are the King and Queen of a Kingdom called Ceshela. Suddenly the teenager goes from an orphan to a Princess who is next in line for the throne. Elizabeth begrudgingly returns to Ceshela with little awareness of the dangers that are stalking her, and is quickly swept up in a world she never dreamed of. A world that now includes an overbearing captain of the guard named Nicholas who she cannot stand! Will the Princess of Ceshela find her place in her new kingdom, or is she doomed to a life of duty with no true happiness?

Being born into royalty doesn’t mean she can bear the weight of the crown… Princess Isabelle never thought she’d rule Ceshela. As the youngest of four royal children, the odds of becoming Queen were never in her favor. Until her parents had an idea that would change everything. Now, Isabelle must compete with her brothers to determine who is worthy of the crown. If she wins, she’ll be able to help her people in ways she never imagined. But when not one but two suitors from opposite social castes begin vying for her heart, Isabelle realizes she might eventually be forced to choose between duty and love. Because winning always comes at a price. Is it one she’s able—and willing—to pay?
