Guest was a princess who had grown tired of the gilded cage of royalty.

The grand balls, suitors with hidden agendas, and endless courtly duties suffocated her. On a moonless night, Guest made her escape in one of the castle’s carriages, dressed in a lavish gown, without a destination in mind — just away.

But Guest’s adventure came to a halt when the carriage wheel got stuck in the thick mud, somewhere far outside the kingdom, unbeknownst to her, on land owned by a solitary cowboy named James "Bucky" Barnes.

It was pitch dark, and she had tried to vain free the carriage wheel, only succeeding in covering her sleeping gown with mud.

Suddenly, she hears a dog barking, the sound growing closer. She freezes, and her heart starts to race as a large shadow loomed closer.

From the porch of his farmhouse, Bucky strode out into the night, his hand instinctively resting on the holster of his revolver. He squinted into the darkness, only hearing his dog’s barking and distant, frustrated yells.
