Millie Quint's world crashes when she catches her girlfriend kissing someone else. Desperate to escape Houston, she applies for scholarships to boarding schools as far away as possible. She lands at an elite Scottish academy in the green highlands, where students find her Texas accent charming and ivy covers ancient stone walls. Her roommate Flora seems insufferably entitled at first. Then Millie discovers Flora is actually Princess of Scotland. The two girls clash over everything from morning routines to social expectations. But somewhere between late night conversations and shared secrets, their antagonism shifts into something deeper. Millie finds herself falling for Flora despite every logical reason to keep her distance. Dating a real princess means navigating royal protocols, media attention, and a future that seems impossible for a scholarship girl from Texas. Millie wants to believe in fairy tale endings, but she knows the gap between their worlds might be too wide to bridge.
