Royals in Disguise

Someone wants the prince and princess of Aachen-Duren dead. When the brother and sister disappear, it's left to a complete stranger to assume the identity of the princess fooling the Queen of England and all of Regency Society. What Lucinda North didn't realize when she agreed to the scheme, was that someone would try to kill her too. Anthony Melfield would rather not waste his time helping a spoiled princess learn how to conduct herself. He would certainly rather not have to return to society after a heartbreak. And he most definitely would rather not have feelings for the princess, no matter how sweet, funny, and beautiful she is. To top it all, he would much rather not have to use his skills to save her life and figure out who wants her dead. In this tangled web of hidden identities, a princess on the run, and three lives at stake, friendships are made and enduring love is discovered.This is the first book of a three book mystery – the mystery spans all three books of the series.

Princess Louisa of Aachen-Düren knows that her brother isn't dead. She knows it deep in her heart, no matter what the newspapers say-and she's going to prove it. But when Nik isn't where he should be, she has no choice but to go out and search for him. How hard could it be to travel from Oxford to Dover… on her own… with no money and no means of transportation because her purse and horse have both been stolen? She's never been on her own, but she's not going to let these obstacles stop her. When she's offered a ride by a handsome nobleman, she makes up a fake identity, certain her bodyguard will be sending men to find her.Samuel, Lord Ranleigh, is off on his very last adventure before settling down and becoming respectable. He briefly stops in Oxford and discovers a clueless, beautiful foreign young woman trying to wheedle her way onto the mail coach. This might be the opportunity he needs to prove to his mother and the world he's responsible. Ranleigh has no idea what he's getting himself into when he offers the girl a ride. Picking up strangers and stray animals is the least of his worries when men begin to follow them, trying to kidnap Isa. But when bullets begin to fly, he knows he must do everything within his power to protect this beautiful, if not entirely honest, young woman in his care.*Warning:* This book is book 2 in a three book mystery.
