Worlds and hearts collide in this beloved tale by New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery. All-pomp-no-play Princess Alexandra Wyndham gets a royal wake-up call when a letter arrives at the palace, alleging the rightful heir to her throne is alive. Now she must travel to the ranch of the most majestic man she’s ever met. Cowboy Mitch Colton might be the key to finding her missing brother…if she can keep her focus on the search instead of the sexy rancher. Mitch is tight-lipped when it comes to the whereabouts of his elusive stepbrother—the suspected long-lost heir!—but he grudgingly opens his home to Alexandra. He can''t seem to resist the regal beauty, and it isn''t long before he opens his heart to her, as well. But can their romance survive their abiding differences…and the revelation of a royal baby on the way?
