The Counterfeit Princess - Paperback

by Melinda Young (Author)

In Victorian Europe, American college girl Abigail Smithfield is offered what appears to be a dream come true-spend a week standing in for an "indisposed" princess who rules a remote kingdom. Too late, Abigail discovers the princess wants to use her as a substitute target to draw out assassins. Aided by a young nobleman torn between his growing love for her and his allegiance to his sovereign, Abigail will need all her intelligence and courage to thwart rivals who agree on only one thing-they want her dead. Set against a historical background of political intrigue and Gilded Age corruption, The Counterfeit Princess harkens back to a simpler time with a classic tale of spirit, daring, romance, and grand adventure.
