HE D SAVED HER LIFE When the riptide unloosed her, Allie Carter washed ashore at the feet of Lorne de Marigny, monarch of Carramer. A prince unparalleled in handsomeness...and in having his desires fulfilled. And he demanded that Allie remain at his villa with him and his son. COULD SHE RESCUE A PRINCE? Acting as adorable Nori s companion silenced those who d question Allie s relationship with the widower prince. But Allie needed to know why Lorne seemed so tortured. Why he rarely spoke of his wife, when his child so desperately wanted a mother. And if there was a place for her with Lorne and his son...

She remembered vividly the day they were betrothed. Michael de Marigny had been a young version of the impressive prince he'd become. She'd listened raptly as the teenager enacted the ancient ceremony...with her twin sister. Forever after, Caroline Temple had dreamed she was Michael's intended. And then she got her wish... When Michael sent for his American 'bride-to-be,' her twin begged Caroline to assume her identity and end the engagement. But once Caroline encountered her dream man and his motherless child, she forgot why she'd come...and why this man and baby weren't hers for the taking!
