From the backcover:
In the Land of Pendaran, lively, affectionate Shelby Parker was born to a simple life - yet her mother, Daria, and those around her cannot help but notice the graces she possesses. Among those taking note of Shelby's winsome ways and tender heart are the king and queen of the House of Markham, who are seeking a new wife for their widowed som, Prince Nikolai.
To uphold a long-cherished tradition of the country, Shelby and Nikolai agree to an arranged marriage. But while Nikolai is a perfect gentleman at public functions, he remains distant and shy at home, leaving Shelby to ponder the inner workings of his heart. Will the prince ever love her as he did his first wife? Can the faith that they share overcome the barriers between them?

I did enjoy this book. Even though the book is a kind of fantasy-land name and all, the author makes it very real. Reminds me of The Princess Diary, although it isn't like it. But kind of.

This is a really good book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lori Wick is a very talented author and I would suggest this book to anyone!
One thing that I would like to mention is that the back cover has a couple of things backwards. Shelby is the one who is polite in public, but distant and shy at home. Nikolai is the one trying to figure her out.
That is all! Enjoy!
