The Grumpy Prince

Of my brothers, I’m the royal no one messes with. More intense than princely. The gruffest grouch in all the land.

But not with her.

Lizzy…gets to me. Always has, probably always will.

Too adorably different for her own good, she brings out a protective side of me I can’t seem to temper. Especially when she puts everyone else’s dreams before her own.

Now I hear she’s risking her health for her twin, with the reasoning that some family curse is going to cut her life short anyway.

Hell, not on my watch.

She’s the only one who makes me crack a smile, makes me believe love isn’t only for less hardened men like my brothers.

And I’ll be damned if I’m going to lose her.
