Rating: 5/5
Princess Isabella is anything but a princess. She is in debtor's prison and desperate for a husband to take on her debt, thanks to her late husband, Prince Ernest. Enter Marcus, Earl of Stockhaven. Having been jilted by Isabella long ago, Marcus is bent on revenge. Isabella is shocked to find her long-lost lover in debtor's prison but agrees to a bargain to marry him so that he can temporarily take on her debt and provide her with freedom to obtain the funds to pay for their debts. Unbeknownst to Isabella, Marcus is a spy and actually disguised as a prisoner.
Hang on to your stockings ladies, as the romantic and sexual tension between Isabella and Marcus explodes out of the pages of this book! As my first Nicola Cornick book, I was in love! It had all the ingredients of a fantastic, pleasureable story. Nicola's writing is detailed and flows well. Both characters are wonderful to read about. The book just sizzles with the interaction between the two lovebirds. Witty and flirty combativeness leads to dangerous, scorching romance.
Marcus is very alpha male and makes readers (especially this reader) want to trade places with Isabella in an instant! Sexy, intelligent and compassionate, Marcus will definitely make many toes curl and readers swoon.
