Fairy tales don't guarantee a happy ever ending. Princes and princesses aren't always regal and in this story they pale compared to the rough and tough rancher. Living on a ranch comes out way ahead of life in a castle.

Coco had a happy normal life with her adopted parents. But the problem with being adopted and an only child means being really alone when your parents are gone. And that's the place Coco finds herself. She feels rather adrift looking to find something to fill the void left after her dying mother passes. She needs a job and has found a rather ideal one as nanny to Benjamin's five month old daughter Emma. Emma's mother tragically died in an accident leaving her now in the full time care of her rancher father who is smart enough to know his limitations. He isn't able to give this baby the care she needs. It is as a match made in heaven for these two people who were thrust into difficult situations.

Emma is having a really difficult time adapting to new surroundings and new people especially Ben who for some reason triggers some amazing crying jags. His solution is to to stay away from Emma which should avoid upsetting his little girl. Coco has other ideas. She knows Ben's future relationship with his daughter depends on them starting out on sound footing and there is no time like the present. So when she sees an opportunity she seizes the moment putting Ben in charge. Really cute to watch this big strong rancher brought down to size by a pint sized bundle of cuteness.

Things are settling into a comfortable routine when some strange men visit the ranch. They came with some startling news of Coco's birth parents. It seems that her father is prince of a small island. His offspring need to make sure that the illegitimate child doesn't prove to be embarrassing to the royal family. The news media is going to find out about Coco and the Deveraux clan is doing damage control even before it occurrs. Problem is the media is already tailing Coco, coming to the ranch, following her on walks and shopping trips.

Ben and Coco need a plan. You know what they say about the best laid plans well it is certainly true for them. Meeting her royal siblings isn't something she looks forward to but it is inevitable. Suffice it to say not all expectations are met. Life is never going to be the same for this princess. All Coco ever really wanted was family and love. She never dreamed of becoming a princess but just like all girls she did dream of finding her prince.

Leanne Banks takes a royal leap of faith in this delectable story of life on a ranch winning hands down over that of your present day royalty. That prince is no match for her rugged rancher.
