Galini Isle Prince Mikos Colin Alexander promised his brother King
Stefan (see Behind Palace Doors) he would return to the tiny kingdom off of
Greece within six months; as required by law to avoid forfeiting his royal
standing. The throne’s heir needed to
escape the media after the accident left his wife dead and him temporarily in a
wheelchair. Though physically recovered,
the widower remains emotionally shaken even as his marriage had collapsed
before his spouse died. The prince and
his baby daughter Iris temporarily reside in Los Angeles.
Hiding his royalty, Colin interviews the head of the Loving Hands
Children Agency Darcy Cooper for the position of Iris’ nanny. Both are surprised by the attraction and the
looks of the other; as he expected a grandmother not a curvaceous young beauty
and she anticipated a harried tired father not a hunk. Thanks to her ex pilfering money from her
firm, Darcy slept in her car until her BFF moved her onto her sofa, and had to
let go the entire Loving Hands Children Agency staff. Though she avoided babies, Darcy needs this
job to save the business her grandma established. Colin believes she is too young, but gives
her one day to prove herself. As Darcy
proves a God-send with her nurturing of Iris, she and Colin fall in love; but
he has a royal secret that is the hidden elephant in the room.
The latest Billionaires and Babes romance is a pleasant
contemporary as the infant’s needs come before the desires of the lead
adults. Although the climax feels
rushed, readers will root for a royal wedding in the Kingdom of Galini.
