About This Book

Young and beautiful, Princess Marie-Therese of Wiedenstein is alarmed when her father tells her she is engaged to an English Duke -- she believes the English to be cold, arrogant and insensitive. And when her twin brother the Prince also hears unpleasant news, the two elude their escorts to spend seven carefree days in Paris before her marriage with the English Duke.

In the glittering world of gaiety that marked the Second Empire, the Princess pretends to be Zena, her brother's mistress. This farce brings unexpected problems, especially when she falls in love with the French Comte de Graumont, who seeks love, but not marriage. Can love triumph over a royal decree and her father's anger?
