After a bitter divorce leaves her penniless, Elena von Berg takes a job as a nanny to a young prince. The boy’s guardian? The fearsome Duke Friedrich von Lindorf — cold, powerful, and secretly kind. Hired under a strict contract, Elena is told never to dream of becoming a duchess. But the lonely prince adores her, and the Duke begins to fall. When her vengeful ex-husband uncovers a deadly secret about the prince’s royal blood, a coup threatens to destroy them all. Elena must choose: hide in safety, or fight for the family she never dared to want.
