Daffodil Caron was never a princess, though she once dreamed of being one. As a child she spent her days running through the halls of Perrigwynn Palace in Lauchtenland, the small North Sea kingdom where she grew up alongside royal princes as a playmate and friend. But the day she accidentally discovered a royal secret, her life changed forever.
Eighteen years later, Daffy has built a comfortable life far from palace drama. She works as a talented art curator for the Royal Trust, enjoys life in a cozy flat in the capital, and shares her days with loyal friends and a charming, successful boyfriend. The last person she expects to think about again is Gus—the prince who was once her closest childhood companion.
Prince Augustus, once mocked by the press as “Prince Pudgy,” has grown into a handsome royal with an easy charm and a famous smile. But after being left at the altar and later dumped by his second fiancée, the spare heir of Lauchtenland’s House of Blue escapes to a quiet beach in Florida, hoping to leave the pressures of royal life behind.
A year spent living like an ordinary man gives Gus time to question everything. He even begins to think that pouring drinks at a beachside tiki bar might suit him better than serving crown and country. But fate intervenes when a wild Frisbee toss down the shore leads to an unexpected reunion. Even beneath long hair and a beard, Daffy recognizes the prince she once knew.
Determined to remind him who he is—and who needs him—Daffy encourages Gus to return to Lauchtenland. Soon they find themselves working together at Hadsby Castle as preparations begin for his brother’s grand wedding ball. As old memories resurface, their friendship slowly grows into something deeper.
But when long-hidden secrets come to light, Gus must confront the wounds of his past and decide what kind of future he wants. And Daffy must decide if she’s brave enough to give her heart to a prince—for good.
