The Dangerous Marriage

Desperate times call for desperate measures… And with the little Balkan Kingdom of Arginos under threat from the Great Bear of Russia as it advances South with Constantinople in its sights, its King Hadrian sends an SOS to Queen Victoria. His urgent request is that Her Majesty orders one of her relatives to marry his son Prince Darius to establish Britain's symbolic protection and stop the Russians from fomenting a revolution… But the Queen has already married off every eligible young woman with Royal blood available… Except Lady Gloria Winton, daughter of the Duke of Norwinton.
And so, in a romantic adventure that resonates thrillingly today, the lovely, golden-haired Gloria is dispatched on a battleship to a land far from everything she loves to marry a man she's never met and who, already, she hates intensely. But on arrival she finds the despised Prince is not the ogre she expected – and soon hate turns turn to love as together they flee the murderous Russians.
