Once a Princess

Johanna Lindsey’s Once a Princess is a spirited historical romance filled with royal secrets, irresistible attraction, and sparkling adventure. Tanya, a strong-willed young woman working in a Mississippi tavern, has always believed she was an orphan with no claim to wealth or position. Her ordinary life is suddenly overturned when a group of mysterious foreign noblemen arrives and declares that she is actually Princess Tatiana, the long-lost heir to the European kingdom of Cardinia. Leading them is the commanding and handsome Prince Stefan Barany, who has been promised to Tatiana since childhood. Convinced that the men are either criminals or madmen, Tanya refuses to accept their extraordinary story and fights every attempt to take her away. Yet as she is drawn into a dangerous journey toward a homeland she cannot remember, her fiery battles with Stefan begin to reveal a powerful attraction neither of them can ignore. Lindsey combines humor, suspense, passionate romance, and fairy-tale glamour in a story driven by two equally stubborn characters. Entertaining and emotionally satisfying, Once a Princess is an ideal choice for readers who enjoy hidden identities, arranged marriages, adventurous heroines, and sweeping romances in which love proves more powerful than duty, distance, or royal tradition.
