Passion and danger abound in this classic historical romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.Orphaned and besieged, Princess Alesandra knows that only a hasty marriage to an Englishman can protect her from the turmoil in her own land. The bold, raven-haired beauty instantly captivates London society, much to the amusement of her makeshift guardian, Colin, younger brother of the Marquess of Cainewood.But when Alesandra is nearly abducted by her unscrupulous countrymen, Colin knows he must protect her and offers a marriage that should be in name alone—until their first kiss ignites a wildfire in his soul. As the lovely princess dashes headlong into unforseen dangers, Colin will risk his own life to save her and claim Alessandra as his own—forever...

About Julie Garwood

I do not remember learning that an author had not learned how to read herself until the age of 11. But that was the case with author, Julie Garwood. She missed so much school with having a tonsillectomy at age six, the nobody realized that she did not complete her education in reading, and was not discovered until age 11. Amazing that the same child would grow up as Julie Garwood, a very successful American author. Her Irish heritage was an important force in her growing, as well as adult years. She also contributes her success to being the sixth of seven children. She says that relatively early she discovered that to be noticed in such a large family, her self-expression had to be "forceful, imaginative, and quick"!!!

Garwood's loyal readers seem to enjoy her poignant sense of humor, just as well as her ability to steer her readers toward crying and falling in love. Her mission with each book is to transport her readers to another world, after which they will feel like they have been in a great adventure.

Through local writer's conferences, Garwood met her future agent, even though she had never intended to become a professional writer. She lives in Leawood Kansas, and is currently writing tell notes for her next novel.

Re-read: 11/14/21 I love this book just as much now as I did when I first read it in the late 90's. It's dated. It's got issues. But I don't care. One of my all-time favorites that I have read a billion times and will read a billion more.......more

4 Stars Overall Opinion:This was better than expected! I enjoyed myself with the h’s schemes and the H’s reaction to her. I liked that she “tamed the dragon” in the end and how she did it. I loved experiencing the progression of feelings for both of them, as I don’t think we get that all that much......more

4 STARS Marriage, she decided, was a complicated business. I enjoyed this last book in the series. It had an intriguing storyline, but I didn't think the heroine was as strong a character as her predecessors. She appeared to be brilliant in some things, yet dense in the others. I guess her upbring......more

Goodreads review by Millie on December 02, 2022

The hero, good god, If hes more uptight he'd be a literal asshole. Sorry for saying that, folks. I’m just frustrated over this man who is so independent he didn’t want any financial help even though he’s poor, and didn’t want to meet a doctor even though he’s in constant pain. Like— what is his deal,......more
