Regis and Charlotte

Regis has only ever admired Princess Charlotte from a distance, an untouchable vision of grace and power. He knows her public persona is a carefully crafted mask, yet he can’t shake his obsession with the woman behind it. Determined to shatter the illusion—or confirm its truth—he enters the kingdom’s annual fighting tournament, where the victor receives a boon from the princess herself. Regis doesn’t care about the gold. If he wins, he’ll forfeit the prize for a chance to spend one week by Charlotte’s side, close enough to glimpse the reality beneath the royal façade. But as he battles his way through ruthless opponents, the line between infatuation and truth blurs—and the real challenge becomes whether he can survive discovering who she truly is.
