I have this uncanny knack for starting series in the middle. This is the second book in the series and of course the first one that I read. It is a wonderful book therefore, I have to read the first book. In this story we have two people who swear they will not fall in love and get married. It was fun to watch them change their minds. I am looking forward to the other books in the series.

Prince Ethan would never have slept with a palace employee.  But plain-Jane Elizabeth Pryce, the queen's secretary appeared at the Royal Ball, unrecognizable and she was too desirable too ignore.

Prince Phillip will fulfill his royal duty and marry the woman chosen for him--Hannah Renault.  He would go into the loveless arrangement and father an heir to the throne.  But then unexpectantly, he became king.
