Greta just wants to get away: away from her school and away
from the friends who have so endlessly disappointed her. The
holiday job at the royal stud farm comes at just the right time
for her. She might not have any interest in horses – and even
less in princes and princesses – but the royal family’s palace
still makes her heart beat faster. On the very first day she
quarrels with Edward, the horse trainer. He guesses that she is
hiding a secret and wants to do whatever it takes to bring it
out in the open. When, shortly afterwards, Prince Tristan
appears at the stud farm, Greta’s life is completely turned
upside down. She notices all too late that she is in the process
of falling in love – and specifically with the boy that she
actually wants to stay away from.

monster inside Adrian, just waiting to hurt his brother. But then Jessa comes to High Moor Grange…
Jessa would do anything to find her sister Alice, who has been registered as missing for five years. High Moor Grange

arrogance – and even his warm-hearted brother Adrian seems to be harbouring some secrets. Jessica knows that she
