Gilding the Lily-pad (a Romantic Comedy)
â–ºFrom the Amazon Bestselling Author of The Frog Prince comes Gilding the Lily-pad!â—„
It was her quirkiness that did it. Five minutes after being assaulted with her shoe at the wake of a total stranger, Roman Habsburg von Lorraine, pretender to the long-since-abolished Austrian throne, decides it’s worth crashing the funeral the next day to pursue the beautiful but quirky Leigh Fromm. Despite being more than eligible to marry into any royal European family that will have him, Roman’s passing interest in Leigh very quickly turns into infatuation. But when a parliamentary motion in Austria throws him head-first into a role he never anticipated, he finds that his romantic relationships—past and present—have suddenly become a matter of state. Desperate to protect Leigh, Roman keeps her in the dark about his abrupt change of fortune—a strategy that he knows won’t work forever. Can their feelings for each other survive what’s quickly becoming a royal mess?
***NOTE TO READERS*** Gilding the Lily-pad is NOT a sequel to The Frog Prince; rather, it is a "companion novel." What does that mean? It means that Gilding the Lily-pad follows the same story as The Frog Prince--but it is told from Roman Lorraine von Habsburg's point-of-view (rather than from Leigh Fromm's). Although Gilding the Lily-pad is a standalone novel, it is highly recommended that you read The Frog Prince first.
