Crown's Secret Hunger

For three weeks, a masked stranger has been finding you in every shadowed corridor of Valdenmere Palace — whispering things that make your pulse spike, touching the small of your back like he owns it, and disappearing before you can demand his name. Tonight the masks come off at the Grand Masquerade Ball, and the man you have been half-desperate to find is about to discover that his secret obsession — the woman he has written unsigned letters to, the woman he has watched from palace balconies — is standing right in front of him wearing his court's invitation. When Prince Caelan Valdris finally sees your face clearly, every royal restraint he has ever practiced burns to the ground in under ten seconds.
