They share a connection, but his life belongs to the monarchy.Īdeline Bouchard was born in Marbella but grew up in the states in Connecticut. She’s stunning, and he likes how honest and real she is. Heloves being out of the spotlight, and is intrigued by a woman named Adeline. It’s the only time he can escape the tabloids and paparazzi, and relax. He lives in Paris, but looks forward to his summers in Marbella. He’s under a lot ofpressure, and for him everything is about tradition, duty, responsibility, and appearances. He and his brother are known as notorious playboys, but Elias has been groomed and prepared to be king his entire life. Prince Elias is the future king of France, and the most eligible bachelor in the world.

I may be doing everything in my power to stay away from him, but there is no one in the world who can say no to the future King of France. I’m given strict orders not to talk to him, not to even look in his direction, but he makes this an impossible task.

No reason at all to even think he was there. This time, there is no partying, no noise, no crowds. Like all the summers I’d been gone, Prince Elias is back, but this time with an incognito security detail and no friends. I hadn’t been home in years, but when I finally come back for the summer, I see that not much has changed. Anything to keep me away from the royals and their partying. If you had any ties to Marbella, it was impossible for you not to have heard the stories about Prince Elias and his debauchery.Įvery summer he arrived with his security detail and friends in tow and rented out a row of cottages near the water.Įach of those summers, my parents sent me away – summer camp and later, boarding school.
