Out of the shadows…
As the illegitimate secret daughter of royalty, Cat's life has been far from luxurious. After years of bullying, she's set against a return to her childhood home. But her princess half sister has mysteriously disappeared ahead of her engagement to charismatic King Alexander.
…into the bed of the king!
Cat agrees to stand in for her—but she didn't agree to the electric attraction between her and Alex! He might have no idea who she really is—but when their insatiable desire threatens to strip away every boundary between them, Cat cannot hold back from the temptation of Alex's caress…
Secrets abound in this wayward royal tale! Cat and Alex are electrifying together! Each of their backgrounds are filled with unpleasantness that led them each to be who they are today. The passion they share is explosive and they forge such a sweet connection. I really enjoyed their story and can’t wait to catch up with what Princess Amelie has been up to in the upcoming conclusion of The Princess Seductions!
Cat Dubois spent her life hiding from the fact that she was the illegitimate secret daughter of royalty. Once she came of age and left her home country, she vowed never to return again … but now she’s been contacted because her half-sister, Princess Amelie has disappeared … and they need her look-a-like secret sister to fill in!
King Alexander of Bengaria has agreed to go to St. Galla to meet the Princess that his council wants him to take as his wife. He’s really not interested in the responsibility yet at this point in his life, but he feels he has to take the meeting and soothe the ruffled feathers. Circumstances lead to him meeting Cat before he’s supposed to be introduced to her as Princess Amelie and he’s quite taken with her. When he finds out she’s who they want him to wed, he just might have to reconsider based on the chemistry sizzling when she is near!
Another awesome story I loved the characters. The chemistry between the two f them was intense. I love your books Annie, keep writing and I’ll keep reading. 5 stars. Heather Northover
