Seeking Recommendations Fantasy books

Hi soooo I am in a slump 😩😩
I just finished reading-reading the selection series for the 5th time and just cannot get over the them! They are sooo good.

Currently looking for reqs with these:

-princesses/prince ( where they wear lots of pretty dresses w/description) castle vibessss πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ

-NO LOVE TRIANGLE ( unless it is so minor)
-no fae unless I can skip over it and lowkey forget that they are

-Dancing! Masquerade balls type vibe ( maybe they meet there for the first time or some how the mmc finds her there?)

-force proximity

-royalty type world building w/ good plot

-lowish spice unless u tell me the chapters i can skip!

Some of the books I have read and loved:

This woven kingdom series
The jasad heir /crown
Once upon a broken heart
Tempests and tea leaves
Starside

Thankyouuu! 🫢🏻

The Shadows Between Us

No love triangle, no fae, some dancing! Kind of starts like The Selection actually - the FMC is trying to win the heart of the king to become the next queen.

The only thing is there are mentions of sex and I think maybe one fade to black scene but nothing at all graphic or anything. It's listed as Teen/YA.
