Princes have pomp and glory—not murdered secretaries and crushes on commoners.
Nothing gets the tongues of London’s high society wagging like a good scandal. And when the personal secretary of the visiting Prince Sebastian of Alucia is found murdered, it’s all anyone can talk about, including Eliza Tricklebank. Her unapologetic gossip gazette has benefited from an anonymous tip about the crime, prompting Sebastian to take an interest in playing detective—and an even greater interest in Eliza.
With a trade deal on the line and mounting pressure to secure a noble bride, there’s nothing more salacious than a prince dallying with a commoner. Sebastian finds Eliza’s contrary manner as frustrating as it is seductive, but they’ll have to work together if they’re going to catch the culprit. And when things heat up behind closed doors, it’s the prince who’ll have to decide what comes first—his country or his heart.

MY REVIEW
If I ever have a chance to live a fairy tale, let it be like this one!
Eliza is a spinster and a commoner. Sebastian is a Prince. Where one is ignored, the other is fawned over.
Sebastian has come to England on business and to secure what he wants, he will need to choose an influential bride. What he does not expect is the murder of his most trusted friend and to find an undying love with someone who can never truly be his.
Eliza has come to be content with the life she has been given. That is, until she meets Prince Sebastian. As she becomes a confidant and friend to him, they become so much closer. Knowing nothing can come of their acquaintance does not stop her yearning to have so much more.
Is it possible for a prince and commoner to have more than just a dalliance? Or is it all one big fairy tale?
This is a beautifully written romance that put stars in my eyes and a fire in my heart.
The beginning may have been a little slow but once you get past that, the story that unfolds is magical ! I was swept away and held captive by this story until the very end. It left me breathless with anticipation.
The courtship between Prince Sebastian and Eliza is tentative, sweet and romantic. Sigh!
I loved reading every second of their fall into love. Sebastian’s character is honest and genuine. He is caring, thoughtful and honest in everything he does. Eliza may have come to accept her place in the world but that does not mean she is meek or docile. Indeed not. She is outspoken and has no care for other’s opinions of her.
There is no over-the-top drama. Just an amazing story and memorable characters. The story at times was so poignant it made my heart flutter.
I need more! I loved this couple, their journey and the intrigue surrounding the murder! Sadly, there is no epilogue and I am BEREFT. I could use just a few more paragraphs of this couple’s story.
This amazing read had me walking on clouds and now I’m a little hesitant to be dropped back down to earth. In the meantime, I’m anxiously awaiting the next book in this series!
I received an ARC via NetGalley of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
