Assassin Leonard Kastner agrees to commit an abhorrent crime for an astronomical sum - kill the infant heir to the European kingdom of Lubinia. Just as he is about to carry out the heinous deed, the baby awakens.and smiles at him. Losing his heart to tiny Alana Stindal, Leonard sweeps her out of their homeland to safety in England where he conceals her true identity from her and gives her an education fit for a queen. Eighteen years later, when the king of Lubinia faces a revolt because he has not produced another legitimate heir, Leonard knows he must take Alana home to prevent a civil war. But at the Lubinian palace no one believes Alana is the missing princess. Christoph Becker, the captain of the palace guards, arrests Alana because he suspects she is a pretender or a seductive assassin. When the king recognizes Alana as his long-lost daughter he proudly betroths her to the one man he believes is capable of protecting her and eliminating the shadowy figures who are determined to destroy his dynasty - Christoph Becker.


I read some reviews on Kindle about this book and people where talking "ghostwriter." They were also saying that it is better than what she has been producing--I'm all for that!




Saw it in the bookstore. Didn't buy a copy. When I read the synopsis, it seems like it is not the same as the other books of Ms. Johanna Lindsey.

I have tried to read this newest book but so far have not been able to get into it at all! Just does not seem like Ms. Lindsey's style of writing, can't stand the heroine at all and it's like she's recycling an old story line..example: The hero in the story is a horse trainer/breeder and his name is Devin, close to the hero from Man of my Dreams, Devlin a Duke who also trained/breed horses.....just can't seem to want to pick it back up again, stuck on page 89 and that's as far as I've gotten after picking it up many times :(
