Crowned in Secret: One Night. One Lie. One Royal Mistake That Felt Too Right.

Avery Cole has built her life on precision deadlines, polished events, and never leaning on anyone but herself. As one of Chicago’s top event planners, her world is sleek and controlled. And lonely. Then a stranger barrels into her morning with a spilled coffee and an easy smile. Leo is warm, curious, magnetic and far more focused on her than the glittering crowd she usually works around.

But Leo isn’t telling her everything.

What starts as playful banter and late nights stretches into something deeper. Stolen moments. Quiet touches she can’t forget. For the first time, Avery imagines a future she never dared to picture. Until the truth comes out: Leo isn’t who he said he was. And the fallout threatens not just her career, but the fragile trust she let herself give.

Now, with pressure mounting and secrets exposed, Avery has to decide if love is worth the risk or if some lies leave scars too deep to cross.

Can something built on a lie survive long enough to become real?
