Two friends. Two kingdoms. Two unexpected romances.
While renovating the Belle poque theater into her second cosmetics boutique, Renee finds herself caught between persistent suitors. Prince Kylian's pursuit grows increasingly ardent, while Duke Montfort's offer of a fake engagement begins to blur the line between convenience and something real. But romance isn't her only challenge-a political activist group files to label the theater a historic landmark and organizes noisy protests that block her storefront, causing construction delays and potential financial disaster.
Meanwhile, in snowy Tarithia, Flossie's life takes an extraordinary turn when the injured dragon she rescues transforms into a devastatingly handsome shape-shifter named Zarek. As she tends his wounds and teaches him her language, their connection deepens beyond mere gratitude, blossoming into a forbidden attraction that challenges centuries of dragon tradition and human prejudice.
As ancient biases clash with newfound passions, Renee and Flossie must find the courage to fight for their futures. Because whether it's saving a business or bridging worlds, love-and change-never come without risk.
