After years of house arrest and watching her family's power crumble, Princess Una just wants to disappear into a quiet, ordinary life—so naturally, the King has other plans and sets his sights on finding her the perfect husband. Enter Armand de Bussell, a charming rogue who's spent his life avoiding responsibility and definitely doesn't want a wife cramping his style. When these two strong-willed people collide, neither expects the spark that ignites between them, and both must decide whether they're brave enough to risk their hearts on something real. This is a delicious medieval romance full of witty banter, genuine chemistry, and the kind of slow-burn tension that will keep you utterly hooked.

Medieval intrigue meets slow-burn tension—lush strings and sultry vocals layered over folk and orchestral arrangements. Think Hozier's restraint, Florence + The Machine's intensity, and moody indie folk. Anticipation building toward inevitable surrender.
