Loving The Prince

by Nicole Murphy

Published 1 August 2014

From Escape's fresh, exhilarating science fiction romance catalogue comes a story of corporate espionage, betrayal, sex, and bodyguards. Just another day in the colonies.

Cassandra Wiltmore is the heir to the throne of Rica, but it's unlikely she'll be stepping up any time soon. So she spends her days managing and building the Rican Balcite Mining Company. The company has made her family wealthy beyond imagination, but that kind of power needs careful control, and Cassandra is just the Wiltmore to control it.

When a new bid for the mining license is announced, Cassandra is determined to squash it. Then the thefts and threats begin, and every step she takes seems to be wrong. Taking on a new protector seems like an indulgence Cass can't afford, but she equally cannot afford to be caught off–guard. If only the best man for the job wasn't also the best–looking man she's ever seen.

Kernan Radaton has ambition, and as protector to Cassandra Wiltmore, he's well placed to reach all his long–held goals. If only his new all–business boss didn't make him think of only pleasure. With the company, the heir and the family under attack, the last thing anyone needs is a distraction. But once everything is safe again, Kernan is developing new ambitions – ones that involve a lot of very personal time spent getting to know his boss on a very personal level.

The final book in Nicole Murphy's steamy, sexy science fiction trilogy brings back an unforgettable character for her own unforgettable story…

Plissa Waltric has made mistakes: being a bitch to the Prince of Rica was probably not the best career move. But she's really tried to make the best of her punishment for almost killing Kernan Radaton – turning things around at the Rican Balcite Mining Company, training a replacement, and waiting for the King of Angonia to forgive her and let her return home.

Thanks to her role in protecting the RBMC, it looks like Plissa might finally be free. But with the end of her punishment in sight, the very last thing Plissa needs is a secret from her past to make an appearance. Unfortunately, Paolo has always done just as he pleases, and it pleases him to rekindle his relationship with Plissa. But the secretive organisation of capaz de pensa is outlawed now, and Plissa's past involvement could risk her whole future.

With Paolo back in her life–and her bed–it soon becomes clear that her future is not the only thing she's risking. Plissa has always valued her head above her heart, her ambition over her relationships. Now she needs to figure out what is really important, and what she is willing to sacrifice to get it.
