While journeying home from Scotland, Princess Mercedes of Alden’s coach is set upon and her personal guard killed. Barely escaping with her life, she seeks help at a nearby inn. But with no money and looking little better than a beggar, the townsfolk think her claims of being a princess to be nothing more than a far-fetched tale. Utterly forsaken, Mercedes wonders what is to become of her.
After years of soldiering, dispossessed Laird Daniel MacKinnon is finally coming home. At an inn he is confronted by a bedraggled young woman claiming to be of royal blood. Daniel doesn’t believe her wild tale, but when she asks for his protection, he agrees to serve as her bodyguard—in turn she promises to reward him handsomely once they reach London. But Mercedes is still being pursued by ruthless hunters whose motives remain unclear.
As the danger increases, so does the desire she and Daniel feel for each other, until the two of them must face the greatest danger of all—falling in love.

Princess Mercedes Anna Sophia Wyndom of Alden is used to people paying attention when she speaks, but not like this. Yes, her breathless tale of the band of brigands who attacked her carriage and ruthlessly killed everyone else in her retinue does sound just the tiniest bit fantastic, but it is still the truth. In fact, Mercedes considers herself lucky to have escaped with her life. But her disheveled appearance and lack of funds induce the strangers at the inn to judge her as either crazy or a liar. Major Daniel MacKinnon doubts that Mercedes is a real princess, but he does feel sorry for the poor, seemingly deluded lass, so much so that he finds himself agreeing to act as Mercedes' bodyguard until she can get back to London. Warren continues her impeccably written Princess Brides trilogy with a thrillingly romantic, intrigue-infused tale of a blue-blooded royal who discovers both her one true love and the inner resources she never imagined she possessed while taking a walk on the wilder side of life.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
