The Inconsequential Princess
(2023)(The fourth book in the Regency & Rivalry series)
A novel by Maude Winters
Can an awkward prince convince a resistant bohemian princess to love him with just a pen and paper?
Prince Louis, a future king, spots a beautiful woman at the opera and falls for her before he even knows her name. The problem? She's actually his frenemy's much younger sister. It's been about a decade since his ex ran off in a runaway bride scenario and he's not known for his game with women.
Princess Bethany is a bohemian princess living as a private citizen in Paris. She's a queer, polyamorous pianist and budding composer pursuing her dreams. When she runs into Louis, he does himself no favors despite his repeated attempts to make it up to her. He wants to show her he's not the man her brother has led her to believe he is, but she loathes him.
Louis attempts to woo Bethany the only way he knows how - with very spicy love letters. Armed with a pen, the charm offensive begins. Bethany softens, but still resists the idea of something serious with Louis. Loving him means tying herself to three suspicious institutions - monogamy, marriage, and the monarchy.
When everything changes for Louis, Beth can either run or double down. She must choose her future carefully.
Will Louis convince Bethany to take the leap and trust in him?
Will Bethany find a way to have love without sacrificing her sense of self?
