When European royalty meets Australian Outback...

The throne of Alp d'Estella lies empty: Prince Regent Maxsim de Gautier travels to the Outback to find the next heir–eight–year–old orphan Marc. Max isn't expecting to be confronted by a feisty woman who is fiercely protective of her adopted family.

Although Pippa Donahue is wary of this dashing prince, she cannot deny Marc his heritage–nor her attraction to Max–so she agrees to spend one month in his royal kingdom.

Will it be enough to convince Pippa and the kids to stay–and for Max to make her his royal bride?
