Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a handsome British baron meets an unconventional American on her solo honeymoon, falling in love is the least of their concerns... Nothing about Alice Wood's life is normal, starting with a fiance who called off their wedding and relationship days before their luxurious honeymoon trip down Europe's most romantic rivers, and ending with a horrible misunderstanding that leaves Alice cooped up in a ship's cabin with a strange—yet mysteriously handsome—British aristocrat. All Elliott Ainslie wants is some quiet time to write his latest book. But his buttoned-up, serious self is about to be sidetracked by a eccentric woman who seems to have jumped out of the pages of a fairy tale, one who is determined to shake up his life...and include him in her own happily ever after. But Elliott has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, not the least of which is a crumbling castle, demanding siblings, and an unknown, mysterious enemy who takes misunderstanding to a whole new level. Can Elliott survive the trip with Alice's love for him intact, or will their trip down the Danube lead to the dark side of Wonderland? "A charming romp of a romance... Readers will be sad when this one ends and will wish their friends were as engaging as these two lovers."—The Washington Post “Witty, charming, and erotically tender . . . [a] sparkling romance.” —Publishers Weekly “Hilarious and seductive in all the right places . . . a funny, adventurous, sensuous romance with something for everyone.”—Fresh Fiction “Mutual attraction, madcap adventures, and sexy fun ensue. This delightfully fluffy romance . . . is the perfect antidote to the blues.”—Booklist
