First, Vanessa Kelly brought readers The
Renegade Royals.
Now, in a delightfully witty new series, she introduces
The
Improper Princesses—three young women descended from
royalty, each bound for her own thrilling adventure . . .
Despite being the illegitimate daughter of a
prince, Gillian
Dryden is happily ignorant of all social graces. After
growing up wild in Italy, Gillian has been ordered home
to
England to find a suitable husband. And Charles Valentine
Penley, the excessively proper, distractingly handsome
Duke
of Leverton, has agreed to help transform her from a
willful
tomboy to a blushing debutante.
Powerful and
sophisticated, Charles can make or break
reputations with a well-placed word. But his new
protégée,
with her habit of hunting bandits and punching earls, is
a
walking scandal. The ton is aghast . . . but Charles is
thoroughly intrigued. Tasked with taking the hoyden in
hand,
he longs to take her in his arms instead. Can such an
outrageous attraction possibly lead to a fairytale
ending?
