Full description for The Wild Princess
Four of the five daughters of England's Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were regal, genteel, and everything a princess should be. But one was rebellious, scandalous, and untamed.This is her story. . . . To the court and subjects of Queen Victoria, young Princess Louise--later the Duchess of Argyll--was the "Wild One." Proud and impetuous, she fought the constraints placed on her and her brothers and sisters, dreamed of becoming an artist, and broke with a three-hundred-year-old tradition by marrying outside of the privileged circle of European royals. Some said she wed for love. Others whispered of a scandal covered up by the Crown. It will take a handsome American, recruited by the queen's elite Secret Service, to discover the truth. But even as Stephen Byrne--code name the Raven--vows to risk his life to protect the royal family from violent Irish radicals, he tempts Louise with a forbidden love that could prove just as dangerous.In the vein of Philippa Gregory, Mary Hart Perry tells the riveting story of an extraordinary woman--a princess who refused to give up on her dreams, including her right to true love.
