Book Description
In a desperate attempt to gain a brief respite from her royal duties, plain-Jane Princess Sophie Elzbieta Vlastos of Carpathia transforms herself into Lisa Stone, Bimbo Extraordinaire, and escapes to Spruce Lake, Michigan (the setting for my first three Intimate Moments stories), where she finds herself filling in as a temporary housekeeper for five orphaned children. Except, the feelings the children's blue-collar guardian, Steven Koleski, stir deep inside the lonely princess's soul are anything but temporary. . .and completely hopeless, since the instant she reveals her true identity, her fairy tale will end -- and not happily ever after!
With five hurting children to take care of, not to mention trying to jumpstart a new career, the last thing Steve needs is some female mucking up his life. But the way this generous woman with the funny accent and even funnier clothes has wrapped herself around his wards' broken hearts -- not to mention his -- isn't something he can ignore. Yet how much sense does it make to fall in love with someone who admits she's not who she says she is. . .and who obviously doesn't trust him enough to tell him the truth? From Author’s website
