Chapter 1 CHAPTER 1 Just outside Aspen, Colorado, nestled between the sentinel mountains and an inkblot lake, lies St. Rosetta's International Academy. Its sweeping spires, creeping ivy, and timeworn brick turrets often lead visitors to remark that it looks like a venerable castle from an old European city. The Academy would be Princess Jaya Rao's home for the next year. While she was there, Jaya had one mission: break an English nobleman's heart. But first she had to fall in love with him.
