Beatrice wurde als Thronerbin geboren, jetzt ist sie Amerikas erste Königin. Stets wurde sie ermahnt, der Krone zu gehorchen und die Tradition zu wahren. Doch der Preis, den dieses Schicksal einfordert, ist hoch. Ihre Schwester Samantha hingegen hätte die Bürde des Throns gerne auf sich genommen, um nicht ein Leben lang in Beatrices Schatten zu stehen. Gebrochene Herzen und Intrigen gilt es zu überstehen, bis Beatrice einsieht: Sie muss der Krone nicht gehorchen, sie ist die Krone. Und die Macht, ein neues Zeitalter zu beginnen, liegt in ihren Händen.

Die Krone hat Vorrang. Immer. Prinzessin Beatrice ist Thronerbin der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, und gewohnt, immer im Rampenlicht zu stehen. Doch bei der Frage, wen sie heiraten möchte, hat sie das Gefühl, in zwei Teile gespalten zu sein. Der Teil, der sein gesamtes Dasein in den Dienst der Krone stellt und eine standesgemäße Ehe mit dem Adligen Theodore anstrebt, und der menschliche Teil, in dem es die heimlichen Momente mit ihrem Bodyguard Connor gibt - ihrer wahren Liebe. Als Beatrices Vater im Sterben liegt, muss Beatrice sich entscheiden: Gibt sie der Krone oder ihren Gefühlen den Vorrang.

La princesa Beatrice siempre ha aceptado su deber, pero empieza a acusar la presión a medida que se acerca el día de convertirse en la primera soberana de Estados Unidos. A nadie le importa Samantha, la princesa sustituta, salvo cuando incumple las normas; así que ella tampoco se interesa por nada...
