Protected by the Prince (Harlequin Presents Extra: the Weight of the Crown)Prince Alaric of Ruvingia is as wild and untamed as the remote kingdom he rules. Women fight to warm his royal bed, but he ensures that none outstays her welcome. Then reserved, bespectacled archivist Tamsin Connors uncovers a shocking state secret....

Now Tamsin has Alaric's undivided attention--and he finds himself drawn to her burgeoning purity! Duty demands only a temporary arrangement...but soon their powerful passion is enough to fuel a lifetime's love! It was a vry good escape to the Kingdom of Prince Alaric. Tension enhanced from page one. I enjoyed reeading it because I love a tortured hero and Alaric is that. Tamsin is a Cinderella, who blossoms under Alaric's attention. This story was full of twists and turns and was a great story to escape to! ( )
