Lord Evan Anastas has lived as a recluse most of his life...with good reason. He shares the same surname as the country's worst traitors. But the king has decided it's time for him to stop hiding. It's time for him to step into his royal duties and that means getting up close and personal with the press. But the king probably didn't mean this up close and personal. On a diplomatic trip to Lemnos, Evan meets Brooklyn and unbeknownst to him, she is a member of the very press he has been avoiding. To be fair, Brooklyn doesn't know who he is at first. She is a struggling travel blogger from New Zealand and reluctantly agreed to do a job for her previous employer. She didn't know it would lead to her spending a month in a castle on an island she had never really heard of. Or that meeting the reclusive count would upend her life.

Then a heated embrace with the princess had him wondering if they had met before…and as the clock ticked down to their holiday wedding, the king realized that Marissa was the woman of his dreams—and the Christmas gift he couldn't wait to unwrap!
