A knight in tarnished armor...
Sir Antony Richarden is determined to win the King's Favor-an annual competition that will earn him back his reputation plus five million tax-free dollars-exactly what he needs to save his crumbling country estate and prove to Countavia's Royal Children's Bureau he is indeed fit to raise his three orphaned, seven-year-old nieces. But his competitor is the strong-willed Princess Estelle, his former fiancée. And having to face the woman he left at the altar is going to make this competition more than difficult. Never mind the fact he still has feelings for Estelle...
A princess in peril...
Princess Estelle of Dirksbee has just been dismissed as patroness to several children's foundations for attracting the wrong sort of financial donors. She needs to polish her recently tainted reputation or she'll no longer be able to fundraise for Countavia's orphans. The King's Favor is the perfect solution. But she didn't plan on her ex, Sir Antony Richarden, being her competitor. The man is arrogant, hot-headed, and down-right fierce. Nothing gets in the way of his goals. Not even love. Too bad she can't stay focused on that fact and not keep dreaming about Antony's seductive smile and wicked hands...
