To Ensnare a Prince

by Melanie Cellier

Book 1 of the Four Kingdoms Fairy Tale Novellas series

168 pages · First published 2025

After suffering the consequences of her brother’s treachery, Natalie decides that marrying a crown prince is the surest way to secure her future. Switching places with Princess Rose seems an ideal shortcut: arriving in Lanover as royalty should make catching Prince Leo considerably easier. But pretending to be a princess brings unexpected responsibilities, and Leo’s troublesome cousin, Prince Luca, keeps interfering with her plans. When Rose is threatened, Natalie must maintain the deception while reconsidering what she really wants from her happily-ever-after. A royal masquerade, an inconvenient prince, and sweet romance give this Prince and the Pauper reimagining its playful storybook appeal.
