Chapter One

Princess Kaylyn paced around her bedroom. Such pacing was done with anger attached to each step. Her father, the king, had ordered her confined to her bedroom until he had time to deal with her. It was as if she was still a child and could be punished for trying to do adult things. All she had done was to have a few drinks with his special reserved wine, party with the stable boys and somehow lose some of her clothes. She was of the opinion it wasn’t any biggie, but the queen and king acted as if she committed treason.

Kaylyn didn’t have a problem attracting men. With a nicely curved figure, a pretty face with full lips and long, curly raven-coloured hair, she was often the centre of attention at the castle balls and socials. However, despite her looks, she had trouble spending time with men. Would-be suiters had to received royal permission to visit her and only in the company of a chaperone. Her parents had determined she needed help in picking a proper husband, and more often than not, he did not meet their exacting standards. She sometimes wondered if she was going to end up like her older sister, engaged to a duke who possessed all their requirements. Unfortunately, the duke didn’t have what Kaylyn considered to be equally critical, namely taller than herself and having a handsome face.

The frustrations of not having a social engagement in weeks led her to resorting to quietly sneaking out in the middle of the night to enjoy partying with a few young men. The party was not as quiet as she thought, and suddenly, the royal guards were escorting her to her room.

She continued her irritated marching, which took several minutes to complete in the bedroom. Past the walk-in closet, past the washroom, past the room with the large soaker tub, past the fireplace, past the balcony, past the maid’s quarters and long steps around a bed that could sleep ten. Her boudoir wasn’t as large as her older sister’s and didn’t approach the size of the suite of her older brother, but still, she liked her cozy bedroom.

A knock on the door finally broke her sulking. She flung open the door, at least as well as any princess could fling open a four hundred-pound door,
