Books like Prince Charming by Julie Garwood

Taylor Stapleton is devastated when her fiancé elopes with her cousin, and her beloved grandmother, Lady Esther, one of London’s richest and most formidable matriarchs, is dying. To protect Taylor from becoming a ward of a ruthless uncle, Lady Esther orchestrates an audacious plan: Taylor will marry Lucas Ross, a sturdy American rancher, and use Esther’s wealth to bring Ross back to Montana. Taylor has a hidden reason for traveling to America—a precious legacy she has not yet disclosed, and the two have agreed to separate in Boston. As Lucas speaks of life in Montana, Taylor plans a new future and is drawn to the wide-open spaces, which promise a new paradise. The story blends contemporary romance with elements of historical intrigue set in Montana, featuring themes of family, betrayal, and the search for personal identity through love and adventure.
