At thirteen, rescue-center daredevil Ethan Carter smuggled Crown Prince Julian Ashford out of Albion Palace and left him a stack of blue wish cards. Fourteen years later, Ethan is a wildfire air-rescue pilot traveling with his mother’s presidential campaign, hoping to rekindle a spark with college crush Nolan Reid. Julian reappears as the impeccable prince—but remembers every promise Ethan forgot. Accidents, royal scandal, and a raging wildfire strip away facades. Ethan realizes Julian is the man who loves his scars and honors his calling. Ethan earns command on his own merit; Julian renounces the succession and takes the Carter name. They marry among wish cards and loved ones, and Julian becomes Julian Carter-Ashford.
