Bibliophile Princess

The Bernstein family has long been known among the nobility for valuing books above all else, and Elianna Bernstein—daughter of a baron in the Kingdom of Sauslind—embodies that reputation so completely she’s earned the nickname “Bibliophile Princess.”

Four years earlier, Crown Prince Christopher Selkirk Asherald proposed an unusual engagement: in exchange for becoming his fiancée and taking on the weight of that position, Elianna would be free to devote herself to reading, with the added lure of the royal archives at her fingertips. Convinced the arrangement is purely practical, she assumes there’s no romance involved—until she sees Christopher spending time with another young woman and fears her role is nearing its end. As doubts surface, the two begin to understand each other more clearly, and their carefully defined relationship starts to change in ways neither expected.
