Embracing the Outcast von Nadine C Keels

Crowns Legacy, Book Two: a sweet royal romance They can only experience beauty if they dare to behold it… Now that Princess Eunice of Diachona has come of age, she has much more to study, and a new weight sits on her compassionate shoulders. Her late mother was an admirable ruler, but Eunice can hardly see herself thriving in the political arena. In fact, she doesn't think many people see her at all, especially not would-be suitors who often bypass quiet Eunice to pursue ladies they find more attractive. So when Eunice meets a serious, gifted artist who expresses his desire for her company, she isn't sure if his interest in her is romantic or simply artistic. And why does this young man seem to be as saddened by Eunice as he is drawn to her? While this historical fantasy book does not have magical elements, the story is set in a completely fictional world.
