Publisher Description

This is a novella of about 60 pages … a sweet, short romance:

Once Upon A Time...at the grand old age of six, Lady Helena Blackthorpe kissed a toad. But how was she to know the toad would soon transform into a very handsome, headstrong prince who would change her life forever?

The Frog: As the heir to the Koslovian throne, His Royal Highness Prince Simeon Gustav Mikhail Pietroc could have practically anything he wanted...and what he desired to have was Lady Helena Blackthorpe, the youngest daughter of a duke. But Helena had other plans...

The Reluctant Princess: Heart set and head filled with plans to catch the charming Lord Baldwin for her own, Lady Helena is devastated to learn of her own betrothal which her father arranged years ago. But the contracts are signed, the fellow has arrived, and Helena finds herself as good as wed -- to a prince, no less!

There was only one problem...Helena most desired to marry for love while Simeon wanted to marry the woman he most desired. Still, a lady's heart cannot be won on the merit of kisses alone -- or can it?

Join Helena and Simeon within the pages of THE RELUCTANT PRINCESS where something magical occurs when you least expect it.
