PROLOGUE

"If you look anymore perfect, I will lock you up in my room
And I assure you, you won't be able to walk for days after that."

It was every girl's dream to marry the Prince, to become a Queen. Not hers.

All she ever wanted was a simple life and her mother well again. But with a ban on redheads and an entanglement with the Prince and Duke, jealousy and envy set in the hearts of other maidens.

Who does she think she is?

If only they knew what she truly desired.

An unexpected meeting
A failed plan
A mere infatuation
A growing obsession
A forbidden love

Life has never been the same since that night. Lies, jealousy, secrets and regrets.

If only she knew...

She was a Queen in the making, a strong woman.
