A Royal Amnesia Scandal
Jules Bennett
Harlequin Desire, Jul

ISBN: 97800373734016
As he counted down the days until he turned thirty-five, Ilha
Beleza Prince Lucas Silva needed to marry to secure his place as heir to the
throne. He proposed to his girlfriend
Alana who insisted she carried his baby.
However when he learned she lied, he ended their engagement and fled to a
private island off the Portugal coast with only his personal assistant Kate
Barton with him.
Although attracted to each other even before he dated the debutant
who betrayed him, Luc adheres to the regal policy of hands off the staff; while
Kate accepts the ethical tenet in spite of being in unrequited love with her
employer. When he suffers a head trauma
that causes amnesia, Luc assumes Kate is his fiancée. Instead of correcting the royal heir, Kate
heeds the doctor’s admonition to pretend to be his future bride. However, as Luc falls in love with Kate, she
fears his reaction towards her and even her parents when his memories return.
Jules Bennett’s second royal romance (see What the Prince Wants)
is an appealing contemporary starring a dedicated woman in love with her “never
after” Prince Charming. Although amnesia
is used too frequently, readers will relish this pleasant tale.
