The Marine and the Princess

To: King Leopold
From: Marine Corps Captain Mark Wilder
Operation: Princess Vanessa Von Volzemburg

Your Highness,

I've been assigned to guard Princess Vanessa while she's traveling incognito in America. But I don't enjoy spying on her.

Vanessa is far from the spoiled princess I expected. She is bold and adventurous as well as lovely and vulnerable -- a woman who craves a life free from her royal obligations. But she understands she must return and marry a man she doesn't love.

Vanessa will be safe while she's under my care. But also know that I cannot promise to shelter her from the world, or even from myself....
