Can a planets changing tilt be aligned with the rotation around its star

What I'm asking is if the tilt of a planet can "follow" the rotation around its star so that, for example the northern pole, would always lean towards the star, and thus always be under daylight. Not that the pole would directly face the star, like with a 90° tilt, but if the planet had a tilt similar to earth's 23.5°.

And can that planet have a rotation around its axis, allowing for day/night cycles closer to the equator?

Hopefully this image will explain how I mean enter image description here
