​​​​​​​All Ivetta wants is a steady paycheck and consistent hours. Her mother’s health is failing fast, and she has to earn enough money to keep paying the mounting doctor's bills. Getting a job as a palace maid seems like the answer she needs, even if she has a long commute.

Prince Chevalier, the Second Prince of Rhodolite, has a reputation for being a cruel, heartless monster. If it weren’t for her circumstances, Ivetta would have quit after the first day.

She never expects him to come to her rescue when disaster strikes.

Suddenly, he’s the only person with whom she truly feels safe, allowing the roots of an unlikely and impossible romance to take hold. Threats force them closer together, and the mysteries of the past come to bear. A glimmer of hope for a brighter future blossoms in the darkness.

Maybe, on the other side of pain and heartbreak, is the fairytale ending Ivetta never dreamed was possible.
