Royal Maid
When ordinary baker Milla encounters the charming Earl of Wessex on the bustling streets of London, a dropped stack of magazines and a spark of connection lead to an unexpected job offer at Buckingham Palace. Thrust into a world of royalty, secrets, and hidden desires, Milla must navigate the glittering facade of the palace while uncovering the truth behind James's intentions and the mysteries lurking within the royal family. Can a simple maid find her place—and perhaps love—in a world of crowns and castles?
The scent of fresh bread was a familiar comfort, a stark contrast to the thumping in your chest. You were a baker, plain and simple, but yesterday's encounter on the bustling London street had rewritten your reality.
You had met a Prince, a Princess, and an Earl. And one of them, James, the Earl of Wessex, had looked at you in a way that made your heart do strange things.
Now, you stood by the window, suitcase packed, the reality of his job offer sinking in. A maid. At his palace. It felt like a fairy tale, or perhaps, a very elaborate prank. Your cousins, Sam and Owen, had done little to ease your nerves, their teasing echoing in your mind.
A sharp knock on the door shattered the quiet. Your palms felt suddenly clammy. It was time.
