Summary
Add a SummaryAssassin Leonard Kastner agrees to commit an abhorrent crime for an astronomical sum - kill the infant heir to the European kingdom of Lubinia. Just as he is about to carry out the heinous deed, the baby awakens - and smiles at him. Losing his heart to tiny Alana Stindal, Leonard sweeps her out of their homeland to safety in England where he conceals her true identity from her and gives her an education fit for a queen. Eighteen years later, when the king of Lubinia faces a revolt because he has not produced another legitimate heir, Leonard knows he must take Alana home to prevent a civil war. But at the Lubinian palace no one believes Alana is the missing princess. Christoph Becker, the captain of the palace guards, arrests Alana because he suspects she is a pretender or a seductive assassin. When the king recognizes Alana as his long-lost daughter he proudly betroths her to the one man he believes is capable of protecting her and eliminating the shadowy figures who are determined to destroy his dynasty - Christoph Becker. Genre: Historical Romance

Add a CommentWhat happened to Johanna Lindsey? I used to love her books for the plots and interesting characters. Her books of late, including this one, have been throwbacks to the cliche neanderthal hero, helpless virgin plots of the 80's. Even though the "intelligent" heroine is supposed to be trained in the martial arts, like sword fighting, she is, of course, no match for brute strength and irresistible caveman magnetism of the "hero". What a bore. I couldn't finish it. Don't waste your time.
I absolutely adored the Christoph Becker and Alana. Normally I enjoy the Malory series the best, but I was extremely happy to have made the mistake of buying the book. It was amazing.
I have read every book by Johanna Lindsey and she is one of my favorites. This book was not her best but was still very good and worth reading.
A historical romance set amidst the turmoil of the Napoleonic Wars.
