Victoria Duval lives a simple life. On what is supposed to be one of the happiest days of her life, a grandmother shows up....and not just any grandmother but a queen. Blackmailed and basically forced, she is faced with a new challenge. Victoria is pulled away from her mother to a new country, a new life, and a soon-to-be husband. Suddenly, nothing is simple anymore. She rises to every challenge put before her with excellence and grace, except for one hot and bothered prince who is always on her heels. Cornell Pole is anything but simple. He grew up knowing he would one day be king. He was ready, always polite, always courteous, and from his wife-to-be, he expected nothing else. But when he meets Victoria, he is appalled..... and intrigued. She challenges everything he says and plays with his mind every chance she gets. He had thought an arranged marriage to an American girl would be boring. However, he's brave enough to admit when he's wrong. Can she stand the heat when he gets on her level and challenges her? He has no problem chasing Victoria, after all, he's playing for keeps. Will it be a happy ever after or failure?
