The Prince

"This is the way books should be…. Swashbuckling, evil kings, handsome rogue princes, intelligent heroines, great humor, compelling love… Needless to say: It’s a new favorite." – Reading Backwards Review

Fleeing for her life with her murderous uncle hard upon her heels, Rose of Valinor seeks the aid of the one person she is certain will help her—the legendary Prince of Venya, who was forced into exile by Rose's uncle. Bold and dashing, wily and clever, the Prince of Venya is the hero of a hundred songs and stories—a sorcerer pirate whose courage is only exceeded by his gallantry. All the tales agree that he would never refuse a lady in distress, but the man Rose meets is far from her chivalric ideal.

Florian of Venya has one goal: to free his people from King Richard's despotic rule—and time is running out. He has no intention of letting any woman distract him, particularly Richard's niece, whom he suspects is either a madwoman or a spy. When he realizes that that Rose is the key to regaining his lost kingdom, he will use any means to win her heart—but first they must escape King Richard's pursuit.
