Princess Fanny was a disgrace to the royal family, an untamed hoyden who refused to be gracious or cooperative. Fanny’s father needed someone to train the young woman and make her presentable, but her temper and sharp tongue have driven away countless tutors. The king will pay generously the person who can tame her.
Handsome, urbane Baxter was a lord’s penniless younger son. Training the princess should be the perfect job for him. But when two strong wills collide, they strike sparks off each other, igniting a fire that threatens their hearts and souls as well as their plans for the future.
