Demetrius Castanavo, Crown Prince of Mirraccino Islands, has changed significantly from the carefree, playboy Prince who was always getting into trouble. Determined to become a worthy heir to the throne, Demetrius is trying his best to shape a new image of himself in the public eye, and the revitalization of an historic mansion is just one part of his plan. Hiring Zoe Sarris as the interior designer for the project is the other part of his plan, for not only is she an expert in her field, she is also still his wife, albeit estranged. Discovering that she had walked away from their secret marriage had broken Demetrius, and now he needs to confront the woman he loved and find out why she recklessly abandoned their future, and then refused to sign the annulment papers. But is he prepared for the truth?

Zoe Sarris is delighted to have been chosen for this job even if there is a chance she will run into her ex, Demetrius. But as she desperately needs the income to look after her ailing mother, Zoe is determined to be a complete professional at all times, no matter how much her heart races for Demetrius. Walking away from him had broken her heart but she did it to protect him, and hopes to keep her reasons secret from him. But throw in a dangerous reporter, a friendship rediscovered and ignitable chemistry, and even the most private of secrets can come to the surface. But will Demetrius and Zoe be torn apart by duty and sacrifice once again?

THE PRINCE'S CHRISTMAS VOW by Jennifer Faye is the sequel in the Twin Princes of Mirraccino series, and is an independent tale full of that magical romance that is synonymous with Jennifer Faye. Demetrius is determined to remain aloof with Zoe, but struggles as he gets to learn the true her, that part of her that she keeps hidden from the world. Zoe is such a caring character, even though she runs away from problems in her efforts to protect those she loves. With a magnificent setting, I fell under the spell of Demetrius and Zoe, and found myself willing them on to find a way to be together. THE PRINCE'S CHRISTMAS VOW by Jennifer Faye is a modern day fairytale that tugged on my heartstrings and I highly recommend it.
