Dagmar Marie Sophie is a poverty-stricken Danish princess whose annoying royal cousin is about to have her stuffed away in a convent. When she finds a wounded man unconscious in her garden, she sees a way out of her desperate situation.
Leopold Ernst George Mortimer, seventh earl of March and a spy in the service of the king, finds himself on the wrong end of a saber and left for dead. He wakes up not remembering what happened . . . and in the care of a beautiful woman who says she is his wife.
Back in London, Leo—with the help of his old friends the eccentric Britton family—sets out to unravel what he's forgotten. Is Dagmar truly the wonderful, irrepressible woman who makes his heart sing, or is she a dangerous enigma bent on his destruction?

“NarratorAlison Larkin is clearly having fun with this witty tale of impoverished butdetermined Princess Dagmar, whose knight in shining armor arrives to rescue herin the form of Leopold, seventh Earl of March. She finds the wounded andunconscious spy extraordinaire in her garden. Larkin gives Dagmar an endearingchildlike voice that is perfect for this smart-aleck sprite. Her portrayal ofLeopold is equally clever, imbuing him, by the use of well-timed pauses andwell-acted dialogue, with panache, intelligence, and humor. The progress of theromance is appealing and makes the listener laugh out loud. It’s all great fun.”
