Crown and Commoner

James Taylor, a brilliant scholarship orphan, enters an elite university hoping education will lift him from poverty—only to become the target of Prince William Davis, a cruel, emotionally damaged heir who rules the campus through fear and privilege. Their explosive first meeting ignites a vicious power dynamic where William systematically bullies James, yet James refuses to break or submit. As forced proximity and psychological warfare escalate, their mutual hatred transforms into a dangerous, magnetic attraction neither can control, caught between royal duty, class war, and the manipulations of elite students like William's possessive fiancée Linda.
