      Dear Reader,

      Welcome back to Corinthia!

      Seems our tiny Mediterranean country has developed a case of wedding fever this holiday season. For starters, Princess Arianna will be marrying her American prince on Christmas Eve. That’s not all, however... Rumor has it Crown Prince Armando will be announcing his engagement to the sultan of Yelgiers’s daughter on New Year’s Day!

      The marriage is more strategic alliance than romance, but Prince Armando doesn’t mind. He’s already married—and lost—the love of his life, and is positive he’ll never love again. An arranged marriage with his economic ally solves a multitude of problems, including producing an heir and protecting the country from potential scandal.

      There’s only one small hitch to his plans: a mistletoe kiss he shared with his assistant, Rosa, has him unable to think of anything else. Could it be that the heart he thought was dead has returned to life at the worst possible time?

      What’s a prince to do when he’s trapped between love and responsibility?

      I had fun creating the Royal Family of Corinthia and helping them celebrate Christmas. So much so, in fact, that I’m considering a return next holiday season. If you’d like to see more of these characters, please drop me a line at [email protected] and let me know.

      Meanwhile, if you haven’t read Princess Arianna’s story, you can catch up with last month’s Christmas Baby for the Princess.

      I hope every one of you has a wonderful holiday season. Merry Christmas and happy 2017!

       CHAPTER ONE

      “THEN, AFTER THE children finish their sing-along, Babbo Natale will arrive to distribute presents. We were lucky enough this year to get each child something from their wish lists, even the girl who asked for a dragon and one thousand chocolate cookies. The internet is a wonderful thing.” Rosa Lamberti looked up from her paperwork. “Are you even listening?” she asked the man in front of her.

      Armando Santoro, crown prince of Corinthia, paused midstep to give her a narrow-eyed look. “Of course I did. Babbo Natale. Dragons. Cookies. Why do you ask?”

      “I don’t know, maybe because you have been wearing a path in the carpet for the past thirty minutes.” Pacing like a caged panther was more like it. He had been crossing the hand-woven Oushak with long, heavy-footed strides that took advantage of his extra-tall frame. Between that and the scowl plastered on his face, she half expected him to start growling. “I have a feeling I could have announced a coup and you wouldn’t have heard me.”

      “I’m sorry,” he said, running
