Shauna Laurence is a clumsy and awkward girl, far too nervous to have much success in romance, but she has always dreamed of living a fairy tale life — literally. Ever since she was young, she has had mysteriously vivid recurring dreams of a dashing prince and a beautiful woman he was to marry. When she uses these dreams as the basis for some writing she posts online, she raises the interest of the royal family of a faraway country in Europe, who are intrigued by the story's similarities to their own history.

Soon, Shauna learns, the dreams are more than just that — she is the reincarnation of Prince Henrik, who died just before his wedding over twenty years earlier. With his memories awakened, the Prince finds himself awkwardly navigating the world he left behind as an outsider, and now a woman to to boot.
