Rahasia tentang siapa pewaris takhta Penwyck yang asli, terungkap di buku ke 6 ini. Di buku ini berakhir pula perjalanan kelompok teroris Black Knights yang memang ternyata didalangi oleh Pangeran Broderick, adik Raja Morgan.
Ceritanya tentang Pangeran Dylan yang sudah kembali ke Penwyck setelah 2 tahun berkelana di luar negeri. Secara tidak sengaja, limusin yang mengantar Pangeran Dylan kembali ke istana menabrak pengendara sepeda sehingga sang wanita pengendara terluka dan mengalami amnesia.
Merasa bertanggung jawab, Dylan membawa si wanita untuk dirawat di istana sampai amnesia si wanita pulih. Wanita ini bernama Emily -berdasarkan nama yang terukir di cincinnya.
Selama di istana, baik Dylan maupun Emily saling tertarik, tapi masing-masing menjaga diri karena alasan yang berbeda. Dylan karena takut wanita ini ternyata sudah menikah dan punya keluarga di suatu tempat sana, Emily karena ia memang harus menjalankan misi rahasia.
Ternyata, Emily adalah Emily Bridgewater. Dia dipaksa kelompok teroris Black Knights untuk "menabrakkan sepedanya" saat limusin Dylan lewat agar bisa masuk ke istana dan mencuri dokumen tentang berlian yang disimpan di lemari besi dalam kamar Dylan. Emily terpaksa menjalani misi ini karena neneknya diculik dan ditawan kelompok tersebut.
Singkat cerita, karena rasa tertarik di antara mereka berdua semakin tak tertahankan, Dylan mengajak Emily pergi ke pondok pribadi Dylan di atas tebing. Di tempat inilah mereka bercinta. Di sinilah Emily menyadari dirinya mencintai Dylan dan akhirnya mengakui rahasia yang selama ini dipendamnya. Dylan marah dan sangat kecewa terhadap Emily, tapi berkat komunikasi Emily dan Black Knights, diketahui markas utama kelompok teroris ini. Dylan dan pasukan elit kerajaan pun berhasil menangkap Black Knights.
Dylan akhirnya melamar Emily yang sudah mengandung anaknya. Diketahui pula bahwa Dylan adalah anak kandung Raja Morgan dan Ratu Marissa, tetapi kembarannya meninggal saat dilahirkan. Untuk menghindari sorotan publik, Ratu segera "mengambil" Owen sebagai "kembaran" Dylan. Memang Broderick berusaha untuk menukar pangeran kembar ini dengan bayi kembar lainnya, tapi hal ini berhasil dicegah Ratu Marissa...

You can't really look for much in subscription novel stories. They really heavily on formula and pump out tried and true who dunits? and ohmahgawds! she's pregnant endings. Will he/she ever forgive him/her?
This book held my attention in the start. I liked Emily. Prince Dylan, )who would name a prince after a 60's folk music icon?) seems like a predator to me. I don't find him charming. He reminds me of the quarterback that likes to use his position to get the girls in the back seat. I think other than Emily the only other person I liked in the book was Queen Marissa who is a tell it like it is ball breaker.
The story was manufactured by Hallmark and produced by Kraft. Still I gave it three stars because I didn't fall asleep nor did I want to kill myself by paper cutting myself with the pages from the book.
