The Perils of Pursuing a Prince

Romance Historical

Greer Fairchild had only agreed to be old Mrs. Smithington's traveling companion as that was the only way she could get to Wales and claim a small a small inheritance owed to her that will spare her from a life of destitution. When Mrs. Smithington inconveniently died on the very day they reached her uncle's dilapidated estate, the smooth talking Mr. Percy urged her to not to abandon her mission and continue on their journey to obtain her money.

Supported by his encouragement, she overruled her knowledge of society's rules and together they continued unchaperoned on the coach journey deeper into the rough and rain soaked Welsh countryside. Disheartened enough by finding out her fund was now controlled by the infamous Rhodrick Glendower, Earl of Radnor, the "kind" Mr. Percy fills her in with more stories of how mean and nasty the Earl can be. He even whispered that he may even have done away with his wife and insists on staying close to her.

Intrigued by her beauty and her spunk, the Earl is determined to keep Greer in his castle home until he can figure out if her story is true or if she is in a wicked scheme with his despicable cousin! As Greer desperately writes letters everyday to London so her cousins can prove her identify so that she can get away from her capturer, some of her perceptions and feelings start to change. But as time lingers on, her own past pulls her in a deadly direction.

Forming part of The Desperate Debutantes series, THE PERILS OF PURSUING A PRINCE is a racy regency romance with lots of suspenseful twists and delightful banter. Julia London has crafted an awesome read that will pull you right into the castle at Llanmair as you follow these two strong- willed characters as they battle wits with each other and their hearts and minds are pulled in new directions. This is an intriguing and spirited romance that you won't want to miss!

SUMMARY

From New York Times bestselling author Julia London comes the second novel in her irresistibly romantic Desperate Debutantes trilogy, in which three suddenly destitute aristocratic young ladies must resort to desperate means to keep up appearances...and find the husbands of their dreams.

Lady Greer Fairchild's only hope of avoiding marriage to the first bidder lies in journeying into the untamed Welsh countryside in search of an inheritance she's not sure even exists -- one reportedly controlled by Rhodrick Glendower, Earl of Radnor, also known as the Prince of Powys. Rumor has it that the prince is rough, ruthless -- even a murderer. But Greer never imagined that the brute would refuse to let her leave his remote castle until she has proven her identity. Or that she would find herself powerfully attracted to this passionately virile man whose gruff demeanor belies a proud and sensual nature. The further Greer falls under his spell, the more determined she becomes to unravel the secrets of her Welsh heritage and the mystery surrounding the dark prince who dares her to become his wife and princess.
