Crown Prince Phillip of Elsinore is nothing if not practical. With his father’s health failing, the royal family expects him to find a suitable wife. So he does what any spreadsheet-loving heir would do—builds a rubric.
His top match? A charming woman running a small-town Italian café. Alessia checks every box, so Phillip sneaks away to propose like it’s a business transaction.
Unfortunately, feelings aren’t quantifiable.
Alessia is unimpressed by his credentials and even less enchanted by his proposal. But Phillip isn’t giving up. Especially now that his heart has gone completely off script.
Winning her over might cost him the crown, but logic has officially left the building. And when love throws a royal curveball, not even a rubric can fix it.
