    About this series

    Princess Una harbors no illusions about her claims to Karadok's throne. The last of her ill-fated line, she is just grateful she emerged from the dark days of war with her head still on her shoulders. After three years under house arrest, she is keen to start her own life afresh, hopefully in relative obscurity. What she does not realize is the extraordinary scheme the King has devised to find her a suitable bridegroom.

    Armand de Bussell is a rogue who shirks his duties and does as he pleases. How anyone could think him fit for a princess is a mystery to him. He neither wants nor needs a wife in his life. At least . . . that's what he always thought before he met the Blechmarsh princess.

    Contains mature themes.

      I have to say it was too similar to the book before but I like these books so much that I didn’t mind. I liked that the drama made sense and the H and H were reasonable and intelligent and there was only one silly misunderstanding and they didnt drag it out too long. I love this series and am super sorry there are not more of them!!! Highly recommend them all. I especially like that it is in a make believe world so if you care about historical accuracy it is totally irrelevant. They are also very well narrated in my opinion — she does very good men’s voices.
