First published 2007 · 456 pages
A brooding, disguised prince and a joyfully naive princess embark on a passionate, banter-filled road trip across the Scottish countryside.
What it feels like
This historical romance reads like a joyful, sweeping adventure, balancing the darker edges of a brooding, trauma-hardened hero with the sheer, infectious optimism of a heroine who treats every tavern as a stage. The pace is brisk and engaging, driven by the classic road-trip trope and the delicious tension of forced proximity. Readers are immersed in a lively, romantic atmosphere where witty banter flows as freely as the Scottish ale. The prose is spirited and passionate, leaning into the dramatic flair of early 2000s historical romance while keeping the emotional core grounded in the healing power of love. It is a perfect escape for anyone who delights in the grumpy-meets-sunshine dynamic, hidden identities, and a hero who is utterly undone by a woman's radiant spirit.

About the book
Betrothed in the cradle, Princess Sorcha and Prince Rainger were destined to rule their countries together. Then revolution sent Sorcha to a remote Scottish convent—and Rainger into a dungeon so deep rumor claimed he was dead.
Now danger threatens, and Sorcha must travel home with a simple fisherman as her companion—Prince Rainger in disguise. Changed by his imprisonment from a careless lad to a dangerous man, he's determined to win back his kingdom—and the woman he wants more than life itself. But can he protect a woman who believes every person she meets is her friend, every tavern is an opportunity to sing bawdy songs, and each turn in the road hides new adventure? To keep his princess safe, he must resort to his most treacherous weapon: seduction.
