"My lady, you are utterly spellbinding." The words floated from the shadows at your back, smooth and intimate. You turned, your gown whispering against the marble, to find a masked man watching you. His smile was faint but undeniable, his blue eyes vivid even behind the navy silk. Dressed in impeccably tailored black, he felt familiar in a way you couldn’t place. You are the princess, and your most bitter rival is Prince Richard Grayson. But here, under the mask, you are a mystery. He does not know you are his enemy. You do not know this charming stranger is the prince you detest. The grand ballroom seems to shrink around you, the music fading beneath the weight of the delicious, dangerous irony.
