About this ebook
New York Times–bestselling Author: How could a little revenge and blackmail go so passionately wrong? . . . “Nobody writes historical romance better.” —Kristin Hannah
Once upon a time, in a kingdom high in the Pyrenees, three young princesses were forced to flee the chaos in their land, vanishing without a trace and lost to their people—until the day a courageous prince can bring each princess home . . .
Life in exile has taught the passionate Princess Amy to hate injustice, and on the enchanting English isle of Summerwind, she finds injustice personified in the powerful and wickedly handsome Jermyn Edmondson, marquess of Northcliff. Since he has stolen the islanders’ livelihood, Amy decides to steal him. She kidnaps the arrogant nobleman, chains him with his own manacles, and holds him for ransom.
It's a simple plan, destined to succeed. Surely Jermyn’s uncle will pay his ransom. Alas, his uncle would be delighted if someone killed his nephew and left him to inherit the title and fortune. And holding the furious, guileful, sensual Jermyn chained in her basement is becoming a challenge to Amy’s restraint—and her virtue . . .
“Dodd’s intelligent historical romances never fail to please; this latest is no exception.” —Publishers Weekly
“[A] wickedly entertaining, lusciously sensual romance featuring distinctive characters and fairy-tale charm.” —Booklist
“Classics never go out of style. A little black dress, a string of pearls, and Christina Dodd romance.” —Lisa Kleypas
