15 parts Ongoing Vivienne Stone has the life every teenage girl dreams of - she's a princess. Grand balls, extravagant birthday parties, and the sparkle of royal luxury are her everyday reality. But amidst the tiaras and towering cakes, she clings to the pieces of normalcy she can find, like attending a private school and making real friends. She's determined not to be the spoiled brat people assume she is. Sure, she has everything she could ever want, but she's never one to flaunt it.
Malachi Garcia grew up in a comfortable middle-class family, with a teacher for a mom and a celebrity bodyguard for a dad. By seventeen, he traded textbooks for training grounds, beginning his own journey as a guard. When the king himself offers him a prestigious assignment, Malachi's shock is palpable - not that he'd ever show it. He's learned that emotions are a weakness people love to exploit.
When Malachi meets Vivienne, he's quick to write her off as just another pampered princess. Vivienne, on the other hand, can't help but see Malachi as the classic "dream guy" - the brooding protector straight out of a fairy tale. But as their worlds collide, assumptions shatter. The closer they get, the harder they fall.
In a palace full of secrets and expectations, loving each other could be the most dangerous thing of all.
