Ella-Corinne is an unapologetic dreamer whose dreams get pushed aside when her widower father passes away unexpectedly, leaving her in the care of her vicious stepmother, Lady Hyacinth. Years pass and Ella-Corinne's once charmed life devolves into one of servitude as she is made to feel like an outsider in her own home.

Everything changes when she learns that the prince is in town and looking to take on of the women of her city as his bride. Could this be the chance she's been hoping for?
