Book Description:
Once upon a time in a kingdom high in the Pyrenees, three young princesses were forced to flee the chaos in their land - vanishing without a trace and lost to their people... until the day a courageous prince can bring each princess home.

Life in exile has taught the passionate Princess Amy to hate injustice, and on the enchanting English isle of Summerwind, she finds injustice personified in the powerful and wickedly handsome Jermyn Edmondson, marquess of Northcliff. Since he has stolen the islanders' livelihood, Amy decides to steal him. She kidnaps the arrogant nobleman, chains him with his own manacles, and holds him for ransom.

It's a simple plan, destined to succeed. Surely Jermyn's uncle will pay his ransom. Alas, his uncle would be delighted if someone killed his nephew and left him to inherit the title and fortune. And holding the furious, guileful, sensual Jermyn chained in her basement provides a challenge to Amy's restraint... and her virtue.

How could such a little revenge and blackmail go so passionately wrong?

Stayed up way too late reading this book. It is so good that I just had to keep reading until it was done. Can not wait to read the third book.

Decent read- rather predictable. Good because you don't need to think a lot.

At first he thought her one of his servant's, but as he realized perhaps not, the light was dimming and he became unconcious.
Next he was a prisoner.........

Book 2 in the Lost Princesses series. I can't wait to read the final sister's story. Female character is very modern for a regency story.

Really enjoyed this book. It is the second in a series, so make sure to read "Some Enchanted Evening" first. Can't wait for the third installment...

Princess #2. 1800's Scotland / England. Excellent read. Characters and romance develop nicely since they are forced to remain together throughout the majority of the book. Happily ever after ending to top it off. Recommended read for historical romance

Great historical romance. Liked how the heroine captured the hero at first. Put an interesting twist on the plot.
