She ran from a crown, a contract, and a life that no longer felt like her own. He ran after her with nothing but hope, terrible jokes, and a heart that never learned how to quit.
Princess Eliza has become a ghost inside her own life—beautiful, untouchable, and frozen behind walls no one can break. Prince Frederick has loved her for years, even after she stopped looking at him the same way. When a reckless decision and a runaway wedding bind them together in the most unexpected way, their journey becomes more than a chase across kingdoms.
Through storms, secrets, and wounds buried beneath years of silence, they discover that some hearts don’t stop beating simply because winter arrives.
