No dating experience at all— yet secretly, Count’s daughter Marianne LeBlanc writes romance novels with remarkable skill. “Don’t you get tired of this author? The clichés are obvious and there’s no sense of reality.” One day, shaken by a reader’s cutting critique, she decides to create a truly adult romance and attends a masquerade ball notorious for its decadence. There, she unexpectedly falls under a hypnotic spell that sets her body ablaze. Her near-misstep? None other than Crown Prince Lucius! Worse yet, that single kiss passes the enchantment on to him. Only two ways can break the spell: wait for the magic to fade through light, teasing touches, or end it all at once—by spending the night together. Now, in a tingly cohabitation with the Crown Prince, can Marianne craft a romance that finally feels real?
