When David arrives at the royal wedding of his friend, the newly ordained Duchess Samantha Rousseau, he expects to feel uncomfortable and out of his element, but he isn’t prepared to be targeted by Prince Alex’s gorgeous younger sister.

But when he finds out just how innocent the crown princess really is, will he play the part of knight in shining armor or the dashing rogue?Par Cheryl Harper. 2013
