ELLA

A princess of Sondmark has no business crushing on her brother’s best friend. My mission: fall out of love with Marc van Heyden—for sure this time. I’ve retired from writing overwrought fanfic about elvish princes and thrown myself into online gaming with my virtual besties. I haven’t sent him a taco cat meme in almost a year. That alone deserves a freaking sobriety pin.

​

I might’ve stayed strong—if a 9.1 undersea megathrust earthquake hadn’t upended everything. Suddenly, the man I’m trying to forget is half a world away on a humanitarian mission, and my self-control slips. What starts as a few harmless messages of support turns into flirty texts and late-night confessions.

​

Now he’s back, and I have to remember what I promised my heart: fall out of love with Marc van Heyden.

​

For sure this time.​
