…a struggling single mother found out she was really a princess in disguise. Except Sophie Baldwin outgrew that fantasy a long time ago. She wasn't sure she even believe in "happily ever after" anymore.

Until the handsome stranger showed up on her doorstep and whisked her away to an exotic kingdom…

Luc Lejardin had been dispatched to bring Sophie to St. Michel to take her proper place among the French royalty. As next in line to the throne, she needed his protection 24/7. But watching over the reluctant royal was proving Luc's most challenging mission. How could he keep his mind on business when all he wanted was pleasure…in the princess's arms?

Nancy Robards Thompson makes her Five Star debut with a humorous, wry, and sometimes poignant journey of self-discovery. Olivia has always played it safe and quiet, but when her fiance calls from France to tell her he's married another woman, he provides a catalyst for her to reinvent herself. Knowing that her dreams are hand-me-down's from her mother, and surrounded by well-meaning friends, honorable and not-so-honorable men, and a job that's falling apart, Olivia begins to recognize that living a little isn't nearly as important as living a lot.
