Books like The Perfect Princess by Elizabeth Thornton
Lady Rosamunde Devere has no desire to marry the spotless, yet dull, Prince Michael, despite the press’s hailing of her as the ideal bride. When she is unexpectedly taken hostage by a condemned murderer, the story quickly turns from scandal to peril.
The captor is Richard Maitland, a steely‑eyed ex‑chief of Her Majesty’s Secret Service who sees his name implicated in a dangerous conspiracy. Rosamunde, armed with a shot and a spirit of independence, finds herself equally in peril and increasingly drawn to the attractive rogue. The more she learns of his past, the stronger her resolve to clear his name—and her own heart.
Their romance fizzes with passion and danger, making every move fraught with risk and impossible refusal.
