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?

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