Out of a job and with no prospects of finding a new one,
Katy Orville gets a little help from her mentor, Opera, via
a dream. Organizing her Life Map, Katy decides to marry a
nobleman and live in a castle. Taking what little savings
she has left, Katy heads to England to fulfill her plan of
finding Prince Charming.
Years ago, Will Eland decided not to marry until he could
repair his old castle and support a wife and any possible
children. Even though he's the Duke of Marreton, his money
is held up in a trust controlled by his aunt. Too proud to
ask for help or his money, Will supports himself being an
organic farmer.
After nearly getting run down by a van, Katy finds herself
in front of a church where a wedding is about to occur. She
wants to attend, but a lack of invitation has her entrance
denied. When the man who nearly hit her shows up and
assumes she's a guest, she lets him escort her inside. Will
has been brooding about not getting the name of the woman
he almost hit. His attraction to her and the overwhelming
need to get to know her is like something he's never
experienced before. And when his cousin starts giving Katy
attention just to irritate him, Will becomes protective, as
well. After the tabloids start reporting that Katy is a
wealthy American, she lets everyone assume the stories are
true. But she soon becomes caught up in her lies.
Katy finds that she's falling for Will, the organic farmer,
and knows she has to stay away from him and stick to her
plans of marring a nobleman. Will doesn't understand what's
gotten into Katy and why she's now ignoring him. He doesn't
want her to think that his attraction is just because of
her money. However, when he learns the truth about Katy's
wealth, he turns his back and walks away. Katy realizes
that farmer or not, Will is her Prince Charming, and she
needs to let him know. She can only hope it's not too late.
This is a great story about finding love and is defiantly
worth reading. I got a good chuckle here and there, though
sometimes I wanted to take Katy by the shoulders and shake
her. However, I found the results in the end to be quite
lovely.
Inspired by a famous talk show host to "live her best
life," out-of-work tech writer Katy Orville flies off to
London to find the man of her dreams. But in order to catch
a prince, she has to shed her all-American girl image and
transform herself into a hip, fashionable heiress. Can she
really pull it off? Will she?
At a society wedding, it seems like a dream come true when
a handsome man in a formal kilt begins a hot pursuit,
clearly smitten with Katy. Unfortunately, Will Eland is
more interested in rebuilding some old estate in the
countryside than in partying with the aristos -- how can
she be attracted to Mr. Handyman when she's looking for a
nobleman? But appearances can be deceiving, as Katy well
knows. Sometimes a prince is disguised as a pauper -- and
sometimes an ordinary bloke is really a duke. And she hopes
that playing make-believe hasn't ruined her chance for
happily ever after....
