The Prince Next Door: A Small-Town Prince in Hiding Romance: A Slow-Burn Tale of Secrets, Danger, and Love

Moving to Havenwood was supposed to be my chance to rebuild, to stay invisible. But then I met him.

My neighbor Nico Raines is the kind of man who thrives in shadows—guarded, intense, and hiding secrets behind a jawline sharp enough to cut glass. He says little, but every word lingers like a challenge I can’t ignore. When I stepped into his world during a stormy night, I didn’t realize I was walking straight into the heart of something much darker.

Nico’s past is more dangerous than I could’ve imagined, and the line between ally and enemy blurs with every stolen glance and hesitant laugh. The closer I get to unraveling the truth, the more I realize his fight isn’t just for survival—it’s a battle for his soul. And now, mine is caught in the crossfire.

But I’ve spent too long running from my own demons to back down. Havenwood may have been my escape, but Nico is the one who makes me feel alive. Even if it means risking everything.

Secrets. Betrayals. And a love powerful enough to shake the foundations of a kingdom.
