Isn't it every girl's dream to become a princess? Not Claire Thomson's. An orthopedic surgeon, Claire enjoys the rigors of surgery and medical research. Her dream of landing a spot at Halford University in Boston seems so close she can taste it. As the top academic center in the nation, it lies just a few miles from her sole living relative and best friend-Margaret Thomson, her granny.Claire Thomson grew up without a father, and this missing piece of her life's puzzle leaves her feeling unworthy. But Claire has landed a one-year fellowship at Oxmund University in Amorley, and she intends to find that puzzle piece-back at the same university where her recently deceased mother, Mona, met her father years ago.Claire reads a letter written to her by her mother, finally sharing the truth about her father's identity-the prince of Amorley. Sadly, he too has recently passed away.Now parentless, Claire takes her rascal golden retriever, Milo, and funny, Bingo-loving Granny to the castle to meet the queen mother, her paternal grandmother, as well as her stepmother, Queen Maurelle. Along the way, Claire almost collides with a man on horseback, Ethan Kane, who is handsome and kind, and as she later discovers, promised to marry Abigail Fulton, daughter of a wealthy parliament member.What dragons will Claire have to slay along the way to find her father's legacy? Will Claire have to sacrifice her stethoscope for love, for a crown?
