Crown's Wrong Kiss

From the back cover

Synopsis -

Isabelle Ellwood, a plain, fuller-figured 19-year-old, hides her poetic soul and dreams of teaching behind dry wit, overshadowed by her beautiful sister who is counted as a family jewel for her grace and beauty and an ambitious father dreaming of snagging a royal title.

When Prince Sebastian Nathaniel Winthorne, a bold, dark, and formidable warrior-king at 30, announces a bride-selection season at Cresthaven Palace, Isabelle dares to hope-not for love, but to glimpse the scarred-handed savior of her childhood.

Unbeknownst to her, and him, he's Sebastian, whose commanding presence and passionate heart blind him to her worth, fixated instead on the angelic Amelia Everhart, Isabelle's dearest friend.

A secret library meeting shatters Isabelle's illusions: Sebastian seeks her help to woo Amelia, praising her mind yet oblivious to her love. Their friendship deepens-his admiration grows, her longing festers-culminating in a rain-soaked confrontation where the lavender and breeze ignites his primal desire, clashing with her insecurities.

Public scorn and familial cruelty drive Isabelle to flee, forcing Sebastian to confront the void she leaves. As time apart unravels his obsession with Amelia, he pursues Isabelle, his awakening raw and relentless. Their reunion at a glittering ball sparks a dance of resentment and longing, leading to a climactic confession where love triumphs over doubt.

Isabelle's journey from invisible dreamer to empowered princess, and Sebastian's shift from idealized obsession to soul-deep love, crafts a tale of unseen hearts finding their place-a fiercely unique love story for readers craving wit, angst, and romance.

In the opulent yet unforgiving world of Regency-inspired Eldoria, The Crown's Wrong Kiss weaves a slow-burn romance of unrequited love, repressed desire, and transformative self-worth.
