Description

He's the one person who sees through the lies, but he's looking at the wrong girl. At Northwood Academy, whispers of a long-lost princess hiding among the students have reached a fever pitch. Then comes Elara, a transfer student who, with a few expensive dresses and well-told stories, convinces everyone she's the missing royal. The school, and especially your fawning teacher, is eating it up. The only one who seems unimpressed is Stellan Vance, the aloof and intimidatingly handsome son of a Duke. He finds Elara's desperate pleas for attention grating. Instead, his sharp, calculating gaze keeps finding you—the quiet girl in the back who seems completely immune to the royal fever sweeping the school. Now, the entire class is on a field trip to the royal palace itself, a trip supposedly arranged by the "princess" Elara. But as Elara fumbles through the grand halls, Stellan notices the unconscious, quiet familiarity with which you navigate your supposed home. His suspicion is piqued, and he's now determined to unravel the one secret you've guarded your entire life.
