Brenna Tinley has decided to move to the Unified Isles of Cornetta, a fairy-tale kingdom just south of France in the Bay of Biscay to escape the recent tragedies in her personal life. The happiest summer she can remember was spent there, in the arms of a handsome, tender rascal who disappeared without a goodbye when Autumn came…
As fate would have it, the Royal House of Vicenza has engaged Brenna Tinley to clear up a public relations mess. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime for this small-town American girl, but there’s only one problem. Her new employer, HRH Prince Ronan, aka her mystery summer lover of long ago, seems determined to pick up where they left off. Can Brenna work in the royal palace and not end up with a brand new broken heart?
Short and sweet novella. I really enjoyed the romance between Brenna and Ronan, but I almost wish we could have gotten more of their backstory. I would have read another 100 pages fleshing out their summer years back. As it is, we get a quick rekindling of the romance in a fictional monarchy off the coast of France. Cute little story for an afternoon’s reading.
