Princess Genevieve has long looked forward to getting out of her father's house where she is blamed for her mother's death. Her marriage to Prince Esmour will seal an alliance between two powerful kingdoms. Will her husband be just another self-centered son of nobility, with little regard for her as a person? The prince is kind and gentle and finds her quirks amusing. However, Genevieve cannot accept that someone will like her once they get to know her, and keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop. Then she is abducted and she discovers she is being manipulated in a plot to take down the crown. Genevieve is sure this will drive the final wedge between her and the prince. Can she set things right and finally find acceptance by those of her peerage...and herself?
