For as long as she can remember, Elianna Bernstein—known far and wide as the "Bibliophile Princess"—has found more comfort in books than in people. Yet as a noble, she must find a suitable marriage partner. Crown Prince Christopher Selkirk Asherald offers her a convenient arrangement: he will safeguard her precious reading time, and in return, Elianna will act as his fiancée in name only. Their years together are peaceful, and Elianna gradually grows more comfortable opening up to others. However, nothing lasts forever. For someone who values books above all else, ending this fake engagement should be easy. But when Christopher starts growing close to another woman, Elianna discovers that her feelings toward him are far from indifferent.
