Books like Crowned by Marion Lennox

Elsa Murdoch, a devoted and fiercely protective nanny, has always known what it means to care for a child with grace and unwavering love. Her quiet kingdom revolves around Princess Zoe, the heir to the throne, and the daily rhythms of palace life. When the dashing Prince Stefanos steps onto the scene, everything Elsa has built begins to shift. Her job is suddenly thrust into the spotlight, and she is expected to transition from humble caretaker to elegant companion at royal banquets. This sudden elevation of her role challenges Elsa’s notions of duty, estimate, and efficiency, as she navigates the glittering world of gowns, jewels, and royal diplomacy. As Elsa balances the demands of her new courtly duties with her intimate bond with the princess, she must decide whether her future lies in the comfortable familiarity of her nanny uniform or in the dazzling title of Her Royal Highness.
