Synopsis (from Goodreads):

My Review:
The last thing Emily’s to do list was to leave the country to have to babysit a reckless royal. Prince Lucas Alexander Leopold Casimir Von Rexburg is in a reality tv show is to find a wife or he will be disowned by his own family. Emily has been given a job to get the show back on track and in perfect line of the schedule to find more princesses who are very willing to marry to always partying an out of control prince.
Emily spends more time with Prince Lucas and she sees that he is not what the tabloids and news make him say he is to be, she sees a very different prince and he is very caring and very considerate of others. But he is also one of the sexiest men Emily has laid her eyes upon, Emily is not here looking for a man she is just there to do her job and get back home to the states where she is promised a promotion with her company. She has never believed in HEA, she has seen it firsthand what loving someone does to you when they decided to leave you.
