From the New York Times bestselling author of When Dimple Met
Rishi comes the first novel in a brand-new series set at an elite
boarding school that's a contemporary spin on Beauty and the Beast.
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
Jaya's little sister, nothing will keep Jaya from exacting her revenge.
Then Jaya finds out she'll 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 Jaya's annoyance, Grey's brooding demeanor and lupine
blue eyes have drawn her in. There's simply no way she and her sworn
enemy could find their fairy-tale ending...right?
His Lordship Grey Emerson is a misanthrope. Thanks to an ancient curse
by a Rao matriarch, Grey knows he's doomed once he turns eighteen.
Sequestered away in the mountains at St. Rosetta's International
Academy, he's lived an isolated existence--until Jaya Rao bursts into
his life, but he can't shake the feeling that she's hiding something.
Something that might just have to do with the rose-shaped ruby pendant
around her neck...
As the stars conspire to keep them apart, Jaya and Grey grapple with
questions of love, loyalty, and whether it's possible to write your own
happy ending.
