As next in line for the Evergreen crown, Prince Merrick Davendallโs future involves ruling, marriage, and producing an heir of his own. But heโs long been tormented by desires that are far from princely. Especially when the beautiful Cassius is promoted to be his new valet, and Merrick is struck by a longing like never beforeโa longing to know him far beyond royal and servant. After his fatherโs passing, Cassius Havendaleโs sole duty is to provide for his family. A promotion to serve a pampered prince is something he endures only for their sake. Surely Prince Merrick has no understanding of the true suffering of the common people, nor could he possibly understand what itโs like to desperately desire something he cannot have. Except the prince is not at all what Cassius imagined. Kind, humorous, and caring to those in need, he also shares Cassiusโs affinity for the arts. In fact, Merrick understands his deepest vulnerabilities in a most remarkable way. As their affection deepens, the underlying tension between them becomes unbearable and theyโre unable to ignore it any longer. But when the queen prepares a lavish ball with all the eligible ladies in the land in attendance, Merrick must fulfill his obligations to his country, and Cassius has the needs of his family to consider. Theyโve long known their stolen moments would have to come to an end, but are they ready to give up one another and the idea of a happily-ever-after? **PLEASE NOTE: EVER AFTER is a romantic fairy taleโminus the magicโthat features one compassionate prince, one brooding valet, and plenty of angsty, forbidden love. Itโs loosely based on a certain treasured fairy tale in a wintery make-believe setting that wouldnโt be considered contemporary but also isnโt based on any specific time period and doesnโt play by any traditional rules. Please be sure to read the Dear Reader letter in the book before you begin.
