Despite a woeful lack of training or experience in domestic service, she leaves behind everything she knows for a chance at providing for her ailing uncle who raised her and worked to offer her a better life. On the other side of the city, Princess Giselle Rothrys lives a carefree lifestyle, carrying on liaisons with various members of the Royal Guard and shirking her political responsibilities. Equal parts privileged and passionate, her world is turned upside down when faced with the prospect of an arranged marriage to the impudent Prince Devayn Gastogne. <p/>Between Cory and Giselle is the handsome yet troubled member of the Royal Guard, Anselm Odrin.
