Some Enchanted Evening

Description

Pursued by the crown prince who wishes to save her, by an English magistrate who wants to imprison her, and by revolutionaries who plan to murder her, Princess Clarice flees to Scotland where she attracts the attention of a most powerful and dangerous man. Justice is Robert MacKenzie's only desire, but the moment he sees Clarice riding into town he is overcome with emotions that have been buried for far too long. Feeling he must have her at any cost, he invites her to stay with him at his manor house and won't take no for an answer. Soon Robert knows all of Clarice's secrets and he uses this knowledge to blackmail her into giving her unwilling aid to his own perilous plan. Caught between her need to protect her sister and the man who mixes dark emotions with passionate kisses, Clarice plunges into Robert's world. As Clarice's beauty draws Robert from the shadows and her bright wit teaches him to live again, the treachery around them deepens. He swears to keep her safe, never suspecting that he will face an even greater hazard: losing his heart to the mysterious princess who just might make him believe in happily-ever-after ... Performed by Elizabeth Sastre

When revolution threatens to overrun the tiny kingdom of Beaumontagne, high in the Pyrenees Mountains, three young princesses are sent to safety in England. The two youngest are sent off to a boarding school that unceremoniously kicks them out when the funds stop coming in. Princess Clarice, responsible for keeping her younger sister, Amy, safe, develops a cosmetics scam to earn their way in the world. Going to Scotland with a magistrate on her heels, she ends up in the household of Robert MacKenzie, Earl of Hepburn, purportedly to assist his sister in preparing for a large house party and ball in honor of a hero from the Peninsular War. Robert, knowing Clarice is a con artist but not believing she is a princess, needs her skills to help right a grievous wrong.
