Synopsis

How hard can it be to catch a prince?After being punished for her brother's treachery, Natalie knows the only way to secure her future is to become a queen. And that means marrying the only available crown prince. While she’s never met Prince Leo, she doesn’t doubt herself—after all, she’s already helped bring down a despotic ruler. How hard could it be to catch a single prince?When her royal traveling companion suggests they switch places before meeting Leo, it seems the perfect opportunity to catch the prince’s attention. If she arrives in Lanover as a princess already, it will only be one small step to become one for real.But the situation soon veers off track. Being a royal isn’t the answer Natalie thought it would be, and Prince Leo’s cousin won’t stop interfering in Natalie’s plans.
