MISTAKEN IDENTITY. TUMULTUOUS LOVE. WILL SHE SURVIVE?

Forced to flee Napoleon's rampaging army on the continent, orphaned Alana Farmer and her guardian find safety and a home in London. Years later, on the eve of her debut into Society, Alana learns the shocking secret of her birth right - is she really the lost princess of the kingdom of Lubinia?

When she returns to their isolated homeland, Alana finds herself arrested on suspicion of being an imposter or a spy working for the enemies of the king.

Captain of the Palace Guard, Christoph Becker, uses every means possible to draw the truth from his alluring prisoner...

As a fiery passion flares between Alana and the man who has wrongly imprisoned her, the fate of a nation rests in their hands and on their hearts.
