Liwia wasn't looking for a fairy tale. All she wanted was a better life-a bit of work, a bit of peace, and a place where she could be needed. When she leaves her rural hometown and arrives in the royal capital, she never expects fate to throw her into the arms of a man she's not allowed to love.
Aleksander wears a crown not yet seen, but already heavy. In a world built on courtly alliances, there is no room for emotion-especially not for a woman without a title. And yet it's Liwia, with her quiet words, steady hands, and gaze that asks for nothing, who shatters everything he thought he believed in.
A love that never should have happened. A choice that can't be undone. And a decision that comes with a price-not just in gold, but in heart.
Between the Crown and the Heart is a story about how the greatest courage lies in allowing yourself to love-even when the whole world says you shouldn't.
