One night. One lie. One king who will burn the world for her. When Rosalie Thornfield accepts a maid position at the Royal Palace of Valdoria, she's desperate—her mother is dying, her brother is starving, and she'll do anything to save them. What she doesn't expect is to serve the most ruthless, demanding king in Europe. King Alexander Valdez rules with an iron fist, trusts no one, and has sworn off love after a devastating betrayal. But when a clumsy maid with fire in her eyes dares to challenge him, everything changes. Their forbidden attraction ignites into a dangerous obsession that threatens to destroy them both. The Dowager Queen will kill to keep them apart. Court enemies circle like vultures. And when Rosalie's true identity is revealed, Alexander must choose between his crown and the only woman who ever made him feel alive. In a world where love is the deadliest weakness, can two broken souls find their happily ever after, or will the palace's dark secrets bury them forever?
