She’s the princess of Merick who stumbles into an American while sneaking out of the palace.

He’s visiting her country, not looking for love, until, he meets a sophisticated woman he can’t stop thinking about.

Her father, the king, despises Americans; she falls in love with one, and hides her relationship, and identity, taking her freedom to a whole new level.

One secret turns into a waterfall of lies, and she struggles to keep up with her deception to ensconce her true identity. Keeping her parallel worlds separate takes all her ingenuity, but the reward is worth the effort. Life as the princess of Merick isn’t easy. Life as a commoner, dating the man of her dreams . . . is far better!

“I’m Catherine Ava William Allen, Princess of Merick, and I’m willing to do just about anything to have a different life, including abdicating my title to feel normal. When I meet Landon, he turns my world upside down and gives me the courage to break away. I abandon my duties, sneak out of the palace, and jeopardize my safety to be with him. My choices are risky, but I’m free. There’s just one problem with my plan. Landon doesn’t know my real name. My actions are reckless and take me on a journey I can’t easily come back from. Unless, of course, I don’t want to return . . .”
