author: Ijjenkins
description: Jade Evans thinks she knows where she’s going in life. A smart, talented, beautiful Harvard freshman, the whole world waits in front of her, ripe for the taking.
  Jade’s world falls apart, however, when her parents die in a car accident. Instead of giving into the pain and grief, she takes the insurance money, buys a house, and rents rooms to fellow students to pay for her expenses.
  Hakeem, an international student from the country of Zander, moves in and volunteers to help Jade renovate the old house. The two of them quickly turn from friends into lovers.
  Hakeem has a secret, though—he’s in line to inherit the throne of his country. When his older brother, the crown prince, is injured, Hakeem flees back to his country to fulfill his duty, leaving Jade alone and wondering—and with a secret of her own.
  Jade and Hakeem move forward with their separate lives, until a twist of fate brings them back together. Despite the time and distance that’s passed, they share a bond that they cannot ignore. But will they be able to overcome the reality of their individual lives to find their fairy tale ending together?
