Book Description

She took a huge risk bringing her daughter to the island. But the king’s not sure she’s fit for the position. Maybe not, but she might make an excellent queen!

Christina Newhart is desperate to make a fresh start for her daughter away from bad influences at home. And this position on a remote Mediterranean island teaching a prince the entry skills required by Harvard seems like the perfect opportunity. But to win the job, her résumé isn't quite accurate. If the old-fashioned monarch finds out, she might be on the next plane home.

Since the death of his wife, King Marco Giovanni Pietro di Napolitano has turned his full focus to educating his young heir. But when the promised male teenager to help “Americanize” his son turns out to be a purple-haired girl, he almost falls off his throne. Yet Marco can’t dismiss the attractive but brash governess when her lessons show promise. Besides, she makes him laugh!

As Christina works hard to get the youth up to speed in math, she agrees to help stage a grand Gatsby gala to find the king a new bride. But when Marco dances with the beautiful instructor that night, he wonders if his stubborn ways could be blinding his own heart.

Will the mismatched couple cross their cultural divide and discover a thoroughly modern courtship?
