Description
Seeking safe harbor, Christina Newhart escapes to a Mediterranean island with her daughter, Lexi. King Marco Giovanni Pietro di Napolitano needs a governess for Gregorio, his teenage son. Christina tailors her resume to fit his requirements, but has she oversold herself?
A widower, Marco wants nothing less than Harvard for Gregorio. Christina’s application had mentioned a son, a companion to Americanize the future king. Lexi is an unwelcome surprise.
Marco’s mother, Ama, disapproves of the new governess and her purple-haired daughter. Undaunted, Christina is determined that she will not be sent home. So she becomes Marco’s advisor. His Royal Highness needs a queen. She will help him screen prospects at a Gatsby gala. As she waltzes in his arms at the gala, Christina can’t deny the feelings she has for this impossible man, who supposedly kept his first wife in a tower.
And she can’t stop asking hard questions. Is Harvard Gregorio’s dream . . . or Marco’s missed opportunity? Can Christina change the mind of this proud, stubborn man? Will Marco realize his queen should be an experienced woman and mother, not a girl? A sweet contemporary romance where royalty takes on a Pittsburgh teacher, only to find he’s met his match.
