Romance
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.
SUMMARY
"How does it feel to be a princess?"
Coco
Jordan wished she knew the answer. Discovering she was the
illegitimate daughter of the prince of Chantaine took some
getting used to—especially when she was working as a nanny
on a Texas ranch! As much as she tried to focus on caring
for baby Emma, her newfound fame kept getting in the way.
Until help arrived from an unexpected—and
handsome—source…
Widowed rancher Benjamin Garner
would do anything for his daughter—even fake an engagement
to Coco to keep the paparazzi at bay. Princess or not,
Coco's the best woman for his child's needs—and though he
doesn't dare think about it too much, probably his own. Soon
their "royal romance" is making headlines—but can their
all-too-real love survive the pressure?
