Will the princess save the beast?
For Princess Jaya Rao, nothing is more important than family. When the loathsome Emerson clan steps up their centuries-old feud to target Jayaâs little sister, nothing will keep Jaya from exacting her revenge. Then Jaya finds out sheâll be attending the same elite boarding school as Grey Emerson, and it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime. She knows what she must do: Make Grey fall in love with her and break his heart. But much to Jayaâs annoyance, Greyâs brooding demeanor and lupine blue eyes have drawn her in. Thereâs simply no way she and her sworn enemy could find their fairy-tale endingâ¦right?
His Lordship Grey Emerson is a misanthrope. Thanks to an ancient curse by a Rao matriarch, Grey knows heâs doomed once he turns eighteen. Sequestered away in the mountains at St. Rosettaâs International Academy, heâs lived an isolated existenceâuntil Jaya Rao bursts into his life, but he canât shake the feeling that sheâs hiding something. Something that might just have to do with the rose-shaped ruby pendant around her neckâ¦
As the stars conspire to keep them apart, Jaya and Grey grapple with questions of love, loyalty, and whether itâs possible to write your own happy ending. - Simon and Schuster
