Belle was once lady-in-waiting to the Queen -- the only woman she ever loved. When their one night together ended in scandal, Belle was sent home in shame, knowing her chance at love was lost forever. Now she can only watch from afar as the woman she loves goes through life like a planet circling a different star.

Hope returns with a mysterious note in the Queen's own handwriting, inviting Belle to try once more to win her lady's heart. With enough luck, and enough courage, she may have the chance for a happily-ever-after most people could never dream of.

But the palace is full of enemies, and with the Queen's heart still unknown, is Belle heading for victory ... or disgrace?
