I only need to worry about one thing.... Epic, soul-crushing self-destruction. Because I screw up everything I touch. Even her.

But there is someone who could rival every swoony man inside her imagination. And he only lives three floors below her. Too bad he’s incredibly off-limits.

Dating an American princess comes with a massive amount of baggage - all of which I’m willing to carry strapped on my back in quicksand and through seven hells.
