My Fair Princess

Nia is the only daughter of King Thaedis and stands as sole heir to the throne. To benefit the realm, she is betrothed to the mayor of a neighboring district sight unseen. After all her childhood fantasies, the betrothal is a bitter pill to swallow. Nia's heartfelt dedication to her people and a poignant duty as their guardian bolsters her courage--until the day she meets her mysterious husband-to-be. With his unruly shock of auburn curls and eager smile, Shamus O'Neill reminds her more of a boy than a mayor, and his rich emerald eyes cause a flutter different than she has ever experienced. Will her role forever be a guardian princess? Or will her heart finally burn with the passion she has longed for?

“Well-thought-out characters, madcap adventures, and London’s cunning, cagey elite . . . A fun ride with a colorful, adventurous heroine.” —Publishers Weekly First, USA Today–bestselling author Vanessa Kelly brought readers The Renegade Royals. Now, in a delightfully witty new series, she introduces The Improper Princesses—three young women descended from royalty, each bound for her own thrilling adventure . . . Despite being the illegitimate daughter of a prince, Gillian Dryden is happily ignorant of all social graces. After growing up wild in Italy, Gillian has been ordered home to England to find a suitable husband. And Charles Valentine Penley, the excessively proper, distractingly handsome Duke of Leverton, has agreed to help transform her from a willful tomboy to a blushing debutante. Powerful and sophisticated, Charles can make or break reputations with a well-placed word. But his new protégée, with her habit of hunting bandits and punching earls, is a walking scandal. The ton is aghast . . . but Charles is thoroughly intrigued. Tasked with taking the hoyden in hand, he longs to take her in his arms instead. Can such an outrageous attraction possibly lead to a fairytale ending?
