A Forbidden Love. A Secret Identity. A Royal Scandal.

In the dazzling courts of Vienna during the Congress, love defies an empire. When the emperor's charming son falls for a spirited English commoner, their secret romance must be kept hidden at all costs.

Philippa Cranwell has lost everything, yet she refuses to lose hope. When the man she loves mysteriously vanishes, she follows the faintest trail to Vienna and accepts a dangerous bargain with the Secret Police. Disguised as a palace maid, she is meant to uncover answers, not lose her heart.

Klemens Lindenstein is nothing like the man she remembers. Once her father's brilliant, carefree student, he now moves through the imperial court with effortless charm, concealing a truth that would shatter her world. For Klemens is Archduke Leopold Klemens of Austria, the emperor's scandalous youngest son and the court's most whispered-about rake: Prince Lucifer.

When their paths collide in the glittering halls of the Hofburg Palace, old affection ignites into something dangerously irresistible. But with Pippa bound to the Secret Police and Klemens bound to his imperial duty, their love becomes a dance of secrets and stolen moments that could destroy them both.

Join Pippa and Klemens in The Forbidden Waltz, a sweet and clean Regency romance filled with wit, longing, and palace intrigue. Perfect for those who love hidden identities, Cinderella vibes, clever heroines, and protective, tormented princes.
