The Music of Love

Tabitha
I never expected a Halloween party to change my life. One minute I’m hiding in the corner, trying not to be seen, and the next I’m staring into the eyes of the most captivating guy I’ve ever met. Paul Hammond—charming, confident, impossibly handsome—sees me in a way no one else ever has.


But the closer we get, the more I sense the shadows he’s carrying. When I discover the truth—that he’s not just an international student but a royal with a country in crisis—I’m terrified I’m about to lose him. How do I compete with a crown, a kingdom, and the fear that I’ll never be enough?

Paul
I came to America to breathe. To escape the suffocating expectations of my title. I never meant to fall in love. And then I met Tabitha—warm, genuine, and completely unaware of the world I left behind. She makes me feel like I can choose my own future.


But when the king dies, everything I’ve been running from catches up with me. My father demands my return. My country needs me. And the woman I love is thousands of miles away, doubting her worth while I’m fighting to hold on to the only thing that’s ever felt real.
