A true prince
A RAKISH PRINCE Crown Prince Deverell, the royal heir to the tiny country of Baravia, has earned a reputation as a spendthrift, a libertine, and a rogue--all to deceive a traitor with designs on the crown. He never imagined that the day would come when his father, King Rupert, appalled at what he thinks his son has become, would do the unthinkable: assign Dev a bodyguard--the most infuriating female he's ever had the misfortune to meet. A BRAZEN BEAUTY Beautiful Lady Marisa Lancet, Captain of the hallowed Royal Horse Guards, is clever, resourceful, and murderous with a sword. So it is no wonder that she has little patience for a decadent prince. Yet when danger descends upon them, and passion explodes between them, Marisa will learn that Dev is exactly what she needs...a man who makes her feel like an utterly sensual woman with the power to protect him, entice him, and maybe even win his princely heart.
