The throne of Alp d'Estella lies empty: Prince Regent Max de Gautier must travel to the Outback in search of the next heir - eight-year-old orphan Marc. But Max isn't expecting to find a whole family, or a feisty woman who is fiercely protective of her adopted children.
Although Pippa 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?
