Unexpected Princess (The Royals #2)

Prince Esteban is known as the quietest of the three Reyes’ brothers. He does what he is expected to do most of the time, without complaining too loudly. Except when it comes to women, he seems to not care much about getting all that serious with any, satisfied with keeping matters casual. Since those who love to keep an eye on his family, are more interested in his brother, the King, finding a suitable spouse, he has been allowed to continue his noncommittal ways.

Until the only woman who has ever peaked his interests, turns eighteen. It is then that he finds himself wanting to change his approach. He corners her at her soirée, invites her to join him in the garden so they can talk in private. Which is where he realizes he has it worse for her than he ever imagined.

Recognizing that Lady Winifred Batista isn’t anywhere near ready for a relationship like the one he so desires, he befriends her while he waits. And while he waits for her to come into her own, both of them face several obstacles over the years that takes, that get in their way. Her family is a recurring problem, that has the potential of causing numerous issues, should they ever to discover his true intentions for her.

How will they have a relationship while she does a little growing up? Will the years make it stronger, or cause even more problems for them?

One thing is certain; this relationship is going to take some patience on both their parts. It will take determination, trust, and time, all which will test them more than once over the next several years.
