In the small town of Hallmark Beach, a royal wedding goes undercover—who knew love would crash the party?

All I ever wanted was the chance to confess my feelings to Frederick, my brother's loyal bodyguard and best friend. But as a princess, diving into romance is complicated—especially when your crush is practically family. So, when I sneak away to the charming coastal town of Hallmark Beach, California, to plan my brother's surprise wedding free from the royal spotlight, I figure a little distance will help me clear my head.
But a princess can't go undercover alone. And who should accompany me on this wild adventure? Frederick himself—the very man who makes my heart race and my palms sweat. But here's the twist I didn't see coming: the quirky townsfolk think I'm the bride and Frederick's the groom...
What was meant to be a secret mission quickly turns into a hilarious charade where the line between pretend and reality blurs. As we share stolen glances, playful banter, and way too many cozy moments for a "fake" engagement, I realize I'm in deep. How can I convince myself this isn't real when every laugh shared and every touch sends my heart racing?
Perfect for fans of:
✔️ Flirtatious banter
✔️ Brother's best friend
✔️ Forbidden romance
✔️ Royal charm
✔️ Fake engagement
✔️ Forced proximity
