The Perfect Princess – Elizabeth Thornton

Description

In The Perfect Princess, Lady Rosamund Devere is a woman who refuses to be boxed in by society’s expectations. The newspapers may tout her as the ideal wife for a prince, but Rosamund has no interest in a life defined by dull royal duties. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she becomes the hostage of a condemned murderer, and the headlines shift to a much more dangerous story.

Richard Maitland is no ordinary criminal. A former chief of His Majesty’s Secret Service, he is steely-eyed, arrogant, and dangerously attractive. To Rosamund, he is guilty as sin—until circumstances force her into a thrilling, unpredictable adventure alongside him. As the pair are caught up in his daring escape just before his execution, Rosamund, skilled with a gun and fearless, finds herself in as much danger as Richard.

Despite her initial distrust, Rosamund soon discovers there is more to Richard than meets the eye. As she learns about his past and the conspiracy surrounding him, she is compelled to help him clear his name. Yet, even more dangerous than the deadly plot is the fiery passion that develops between them. Their attraction is rash, reckless, and impossible to resist, making their perilous situation even more complicated.
