An impulsive princess is swept away to Argentina—and swept off her feet—in this frothy royal romance from the award-winning author of Furia. Perfect for fans of American Royals and Tokyo Ever After.

For Iris, being a princess is no fairytale. Trapped at an elite Swiss boarding school surrounded by headline-hungry paparazzi, she’s counting down the days until she turns eighteen and can finally renounce her title. But just months before her birthday, one slip-up proves that she’s not the perfect princess the world expects and her parents ship her out of the public eye to her grandmother’s ranch in Argentina. 

In the sprawling Pampas grasslands, Iris finds a new version of herself, one shaped by family, new horizons, and a boy from her past who sees her as more than a title. Torn between her royal responsibilities and the new life she’s falling in love with, Iris faces an impossible question: Should she walk away from the throne…or claim it on her own terms?
