The Anxious Prince

His heart pounds painfully and he can’t breathe. This reaction happens every time Destree, his betrothed princess, enters the room. Destree’s feisty nature hisses at Ezran in response because she mistakes his anxiety for hatred.
One day, Prince Ezran visits the open market and sees something so unusual that it stops him dead in his tracks. Her beauty. Her captivating smile. It was Princess Destree, dressed as a peasant, knitting with the old wool lady. But how will he overcome his anxiety?
With only six weeks until their wedding, Ezran decides to take drastic measures to overcome his reaction to her. He discovered that pretending to be someone else, allows him to be himself and not the anxious monster. He disguises himself a Sadrin the Minstrel and he sings to her. But what happens if Destree falls in love with Sadrin instead of Ezran? What will Destree do when she discovers who Sadrin really is? Will they reconcile and find love?
