When a royal summons from her brother arrives, Emma knows it's time to embrace her duties as the princess of a small European kingdom and marry the man her brother has chosen for her . . . a stranger she has never met. Instead she does what any self-respecting princess would do—she runs away. All she wants is one week in London. One week to experience everything life has to offer, before she is locked away in a loveless marriage forever . . .
Former naval captain Nick Gregory has inherited a title he never wanted. As the new Earl of Lyndhurst, he chafes against his landlocked existence—until fate brings a mysterious young beauty across his path. Believing she's an unemployed governess, Nick offers shelter and protection to the captivating girl, never guessing her true identity.
Emma falls hard for Nick, but knowing they have no future, she flees once more—this time back to her royal responsibilities. But when she and Nick unexpectedly meet again, she learns that against all odds, he's determined to make this princess his bride.

"Ah what can I say about Nick and Emma other than they were perfect for each other! After Princess Emma runs off for a bit of fun before being shackled, she meets Nick and he is just the right guy to show her a good time. I loved when Nick took her throughout London and I really enjoyed when they played darts, I found it to be amusing. I loved how quickly Nick and Emma realized their love for one another and I especially enjoyed the machinations of the other Princesses to make them be together. Another aspect of this book I enjoyed was the description of the clothes that they would wear; I felt that in some way their clothes described aspects of them, especially Nick. I really enjoyed the minor characters of Mercedes and Ariadne and I would love to read their stories!"

“Warren’s new trilogy centers on three displaced princesses who get tangled in the politics of the era while finding love in unexpected places. The charm of the plotline, innocence of the heroine, and pride of the hero are all classic elements of the genre, and Warren uses them to her advantage in this light entertainment.”

— Booklist (starred review)" I really enjoyed this book. a few chapters could of been eliminated as it slows the story down and became extremely repetitive. It was given a different twist with the royal blood that wanted to have a life before arranged marriage was a female. Pitting what would win out, Duty and Honor or Love. "

— Melissa, 1/20/2014" This author's book are always predictable, but her characters are so lovable that I enjoy them anyway. "
— Gemma, 1/19/2014" I do enjoy a HEA book. Yes, it was predictable but that is why I like to read romances- I know what I am getting. Emma and Nick- what a pair. I was surprised that it took as long as it did for them. Looking forward to the next book and Mercedes adventure with Daniel. "
— Christine, 1/5/2014" I LOVE Tracey Anne Warrens books! They're witty,moving and full of characters to fall in love and have an adventure with! "
— Lori, 1/4/2014" I think the story is a bit trite and the characters self centered and a bit lacking in warmth. The cover is cute and the title nice but the story line just wasnt all that enjoyable. I would suggest a different book! LOL "
— Trudi, 1/4/2014" Fantastic! As always, Tracy Anne Warren does a great job. "
— Jackie, 12/29/2013" Good, but something was missing, I actually think it might have been better as a novella. I skimmed some passages, it was cute, just not amazing. "
— Moey17, 12/26/2013" Tracy Anne Warren is an auto-buy for me but this isn't one of her better ones. "
— KarenH, 12/2/2013" Once disregarded Emma's unlikely behavior at the beginning, this is a very cute story with enjoyable characters. "
— Rinou, 11/24/2013" Look for review on Night Owl Reviews "
— Cocktails, 7/8/2013" Nice flight away from reality... enjoyable. 2 or 3 encounters that could be skipped. the characters were ones you were rooting for! "
— Cary, 12/20/2012" Not the author's best, but entertaining enough. "
— Gina, 12/18/2012" DNF, but not because the book was spectacularly bad or anything... I just couldn't get into it. The author did have a slightly annoying habit of piling on adjectives, but that's more a matter of personal taste, I think. "
— Karen, 8/31/2012" I really enjoyed this book. It had humor, romance and a little bit of spark wrapped in this historical read. Would have finished it sooner if I hadn't so much other things going on. "
