Ingrid, the White Deer

Ingrid Farnese, the celebrated beauty of the distinguished Farnese family, has just been awarded the coveted title of "Elvynee Deer"—an honor befitting her pure and lovely image. High society immediately assumes her future is settled: a prestigious marriage into foreign royalty. But Ingrid's romantic history tells a very different story. Cursed in love and haunted by a string of broken engagements, she has no intention of being shipped off to some distant court. Instead, she resolves to remain in her homeland of the Valentine Kingdom and seize command of her own destiny once and for all. Her audacious plan hinges on the most improbable suitor imaginable: Regan Espencer, the king's illegitimate son and a notorious royal playboy whose libertine exploits are the talk of the realm. Surely a man with such an insatiable reputation would leap at the chance to claim her hand. Yet destiny delivers a bitter irony—Regan is the one gentleman in the entire country who has no desire whatsoever to marry her. Thus ignites the scandal of the century. Thrown headlong into a whirlwind of debauchery, can Ingrid weather the chaos she has set in motion and still reach the happy ending she so desperately craves?
