Someone is trying to kill Prince Nikolas of Aachen-Düren and he wants to know who. After just barely escaping from Oxford, where he is studying, he is bound for London hoping a beard and shabby clothes will provide enough of a disguise. The last thing he expects to discover after a week of surveilling his uncle?the only person who would benefit from his death?is that his life has been saved twice by the most lovely spy.

The man in black is the worst spy Hope Clemens has ever encountered. After saving his life?twice?she decides it's time to discover who he is and what he's after. She's not surprised when he gives her a false name, claiming to a prince is so unbelievable it's amusing. He could, however, be extremely useful for her own purposes and she can't say she minds sticking close to the handsome man. Especially since he needs her as much as she him.

With lives in danger and hearts on the line, can Nik and Hope learn to trust each other before it's too late?

Hidden identities, a princess on the run, and three lives at stake... despite this, these royals and rebels must learn to trust and open themselves to a lifetime of love.
