Intimate Education for a Noble Lady

Lady Beatrice Pemberton arrives at the royal palace with nothing but a ruined name and a desperate hope. Three years after her father's scandal destroyed everything, an impossible arrangement offers salvation: marriage to Crown Prince Nicholas, a man kinder than she deserves and more handsome than she expected.
She's prepared to be the perfect bride-grateful, obedient, invisible. She's not prepared for Princess Theodora-sharp-tongued, unapologetic, and utterly untamed, Theodora offers to teach Beatrice how to survive court society. But their lessons quickly venture beyond proper etiquette-into shadowed alcoves, whispered confessions, and touches that make Beatrice question everything she's been taught to want.
