The Importance of Being Alice

When a handsome British baron meets an unconventional American on her solo honeymoon, falling in love is the least of their concerns...

Nothing about Alice Wood's life is normal, starting with a fiance who called off their wedding and relationship days before their luxurious honeymoon trip down Europe's most romantic rivers, and ending with a horrible misunderstanding that leaves Alice cooped up in a ship's cabin with a strange—yet mysteriously handsome—British aristocrat.

All Elliott Ainslie wants is some quiet time to write his latest book. But his buttoned-up, serious self is about to be sidetracked by a eccentric woman who seems to have jumped out of the pages of a fairy tale, one who is determined to shake up his life...and include him in her own happily ever after.

But Elliott has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, not the least of which is a crumbling castle, demanding siblings, and an unknown, mysterious enemy who takes misunderstanding to a whole new level. Can Elliott survive the trip with Alice's love for him intact, or will their trip down the Danube lead to the dark side of Wonderland?
