About this audiobook
Leopold Ernst George Mortimer, seventh earl of March and a spy in the service of the king, finds himself on the wrong end of a saber and left for dead. He wakes up not remembering what happened . . . and in the care of a beautiful woman who says she is his wife.
Back in London, Leo-with the help of his old friends the eccentric Britton family-sets out to unravel what he's forgotten. Is Dagmar truly the wonderful, irrepressible woman who makes his heart sing, or is she a dangerous enigma bent on his destruction?
Contains mature themes.

When she was contracted to write a nonfiction book about software, her editor refused to allow her to include witty dialogue or love scenes, so Katie swiftly resolved to switch to fiction, in which she could indulge in world building, tormenting her characters, and falling madly in love with all her heroes. Her novels have been translated into numerous languages, been recorded as audiobooks, received several awards, and are regulars on the New York Times, USA TODAY, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. She also writes for the young adult audience as Katie Maxwell. Katie lives in the Pacific Northwest. You can visit her website at KatieMacAlister.com.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5...impoverished untamed Princess wins the day!'There are times...when I firmly believe that I'm the victims of a dread curse,' thus our hero falls into our lives after having rescued a 'devil-spawn' cat from a tree. His just reward is to be attacked and left for dead by Danish soldiers. Competent, hair brained royal spy, Leopold Ernst George Mortimer, seventh earl of March, is en route back to England from Russia via Denmark when he is injured, left for dead in a garden, awakes with no memory, and a beautiful wife, the rather unusual Dagmar Marie Sophie, whom he seems to have picked up along the way with no memory of how.As the story unravels we are treated to witty dialogue, confusion, turmoil and a host of amusing secrets including that Dagmar is a Danish princess with no funds and is at logger heads with her cousin the Danish Regent. Dagmar's choice of survival had been whittled down by her cousin to a nun's cell or depart to her English relations! Dagmar's method of departure is somewhat unorthodox.Throughout we are treated to Dagmar's dead mother's advice to her strong minded off spring under the heading, 'Princess Christian Sonderburg-Beck's Guide For Her Daughter's Illumination and Betterment.' Quite often hilariously appropriate to totally whimsical situations. Phrases like, 'docility, humility and modesty are the princess' by words' really amused me as they are set against the context of Dagmar's behaviour.Another episode in this fun series with just the right amount of romance, intrigue and amusing characters making for a delightful read!A NetGalley ARC
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I usually love Katie MacAlister books. And I own a lot of them. I can read them over and over, and still be amused by the impertinent, flippant and witty tone.
This one missed the mark for me. Love scenes were cringe-worthy, Princess Dagmar is shallow and dumb, Leo is meh.....
There wasn't really anything that made me care about the story in the first 50 pages, and it didn't get much better from there. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Royal spy Leo is attacked and left for dead by Danish soldiers whilst en route back to England from Russia via Denmark. Impoverished Danish princess Dagmar Marie Sophie finds him in her garden, and not expecting him to live, marries him so she can win a passage to England rather than be sent to a convent. Okay.
