A princess with a secret in a Regency caper that captures the heart from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Traveling Matchmaker series.
London is all on edge and astir to have in its midst the exquisite Princess Felicity of Brasnia. If only the nobility knew that the bejeweled heir to the royal throne is in truth Miss Felicity Channing of Cornwall, fleeing a match she does not want and that has been arranged by her conniving stepfather . . .
But how long can Felicity carry off this lively masquerade before she falters? Especially since the dark, raffish eyes of Lord Arthur Bessamy seem to look right through her disguise—and set her spirited heart to pounding.
