Description
The youngest daughter in Europe’s richest family, Caterina de’ Medici longs for the power wielded by her brothers. But when an attempt to prove her value goes horribly wrong, Caterina flees from Florence dressed as her maid. And when a Scottish guard saves Caterina’s life, she must decide whether to trust him.
The last thing Scottish guard James Stewart needs is a sharp-tongued, strong-willed Medici princess under his protection. He failed to protect a woman once before and the guilt still haunts him. In spite of his wounds, James knows it is his duty to protect Caterina—and return her to Florence.
Who sent the men that tried to kidnap Caterina and kill James? With enemies on their heels, James and Caterina must work together or lose everything. But can the sheltered patrician’s daughter and the Medici guard learn to trust each other?
Book One of the Stolen Crown Trilogy, a slow burn, sweet, historical romance on the cost of power.
