As sister of a duke, I lead a charmed life. Playing piano in the salons of the political elite helps me pass the days. My family expects me to get married, and soon, but I have plans to do something great with my life...I just don't know what.

Two weeks touring art galleries in London—that's what my Uncle Stig promised. It was going to be a nice quiet trip with my favorite relative, who also happens to be the US Ambassador to England. The only problem? It's a little too quiet. I crave something more than four o'clock tea and crumpets.

My best friend may be the Cinderella type, but I’m not. While she swans around English castles, I work overtime. I took a weekend off to be her maid of honor as she married Alex, Duke of Fernborough, and planned to hot-foot it home again in time to punch the clock Monday morning. Fairy tale endings are for other girls.

I'm ancient for a hockey player. Broody as they come. I wasn't always like that, I had love once, but it was ripped away in the blink of an eye. Now all I want in life is to play the game I love and to be left alone. Until I met the team's new photographer. I did my best to avoid her. She was too young for me. There was just something about her that called to me. I'm not sure I can let go of my past, even if it means a future I never thought possible.

I was a forever-bachelor kind of guy. I never planned on settling down. I never wanted a family of my own. Until a phone call came, the one woman I'd secretly loved my entire life needed my help.
