Fans of Red, White, and Royal Blue and Loveboat, Taipei will swoon for this steamy, outrageously fun royal romance set against the backdrop of beautiful Barcelona. In Barcelona, the beach is beautiful, the tapas are delicious, and the boys are plentiful. Good thing, too, because Stefi's nursing a broken heart after a disastrous breakup and is excited to reinvent herself, practice her Catalan language skills, and take baking classes at the legendary culinary institute, all in a magical city where no one knows her. Another thing Barcelona has? A secret prince. Xavi Borges is spending his final summer of anonymity helping his mother run a popular tapas spot in El Mercado. But after Stefi stops at their counter, Xavi can't get the beautiful American girl off his mind, even though his life is way too complicated for romance. Part bodyguard, part confidante, Santiago is tasked with keeping Xavi out of trouble. Santiago knows Xavi and Stefi's budding relationship can't last once Xavi's real identity becomes public. But soon Santiago is crushing on Xavi's best friend, Diego, and his focus shifts from royal protection duties to the possibility of enjoying a romance of his own. With so many sparks flying, a threat to expose Xavi's royal secret goes unheeded, and when the news blows up, it threatens to burn down all of their lives.

Er war ihr Mentor, Professor und Priester – und überschritt jede Grenze. Donna Freitas ist jung, talentiert und scheint am Ziel ihrer Träume: Sie ist Doktorandin an einer renommierten Universität, ihr Betreuer, ein katholischer Priester, scheint der ideale Gesprächspartner für ihre Arbeit. In seinem Büro trinken sie Kaffee, führen lange Gespräche, diskutieren über Theorien. Er ruft sie immer häufiger an, schickt ihr Briefe und schließlich einen Artikel – einen Artikel, in dem es nicht um Wissenschaft geht, sondern der eine Liebeserklärung ist. Der Mann bombardiert sie mit Anrufen und Briefen, taucht unaufgefordert bei ihr auf, schreckt nicht einmal davor zurück, Freitas‘ krebskranke Mutter zu kontaktieren. Als sie sich schließlich an die Universitätsleitung wendet, bleibt die erhoffte Hilfe jedoch aus. Die wahre Geschichte einer jungen Frau, die zutiefst verunsichert ist, Scham und Schuldgefühle für etwas empfindet, an dem sie keine Schuld trägt – die 20 Jahre zurückliegenden Ereignisse verfolgen Donna Freitas bis heute.
