In the swoon-worthy opener of her Princes of London series, Christy Carlyle takes readers on a breathless romantic suspense chase through Victorian London. A wild bluestocking from a family of treasure hunters and a handsome, serious gentleman from Scotland Yard butt heads while attempting to thwart a plot to steal the Crown Jewels, inspired by National Treasure.
Alexandra Prince is clever, outspoken, and, yes, perhaps a bit impulsive. Yet she's always been overshadowed by her siblings. While they are off on adventurous expeditions, she's the one left to keep the family's antique shop going while she works on a book about lady pirates--and longs for an adventure of her own. When she overhears a group of suspicious customers whispering about a plan to steal the Crown Jewels, she knows it's her opportunity to shine. But she needs a little help.
Detective Inspector Benedict Drake takes his duties at Scotland Yard seriously. In fact, he takes almost everything seriously. Except for the breathless bluestocking heroine who crashes into his office to tell him about a ludicrous scheme to steal the Crown Jewels. Despite his turning her away, she keeps popping up wherever he goes, and he's not sure whether she's determined to cause a scandal or is trying to drive him to distraction. Just when he thinks he's rid of her, an event compels him to believe her account, and he begrudgingly enlists her aid to thwart the heist of the century.
But while thieves seek the Crown Jewels, the troublesome bluestocking he can't seem to keep away from might just steal his heart as this delightful enemies to lovers romance unfolds...
