It’s not long before the red-haired beauty gets under his skin…and into his heart. Lucy never wanted to be a princess, so when her father, King Alexander, needs a royal liaison to visit a Canadian breeding stable, she leaps at the chance to pretend she’s someone else. For a few weeks she can forget royal protocol and simply be herself. The last thing she expects is to fall into the arms of a sexy rancher... or fall in love. But Brody knows nothing about her true identity. Can a relationship built on a lie survive when the truth is revealed?
