  • Emily Saint-Claire has one Christmas wish: to take a few weeks off from her demanding job as co-CEO of Bow-Wow Enterprises, an international nonprofit organization that matches rescue dogs with people who need rescuing. She is just hours away from hopping into the car with her pup, Gracie, and driving to her parents’ home in the mountains when a series of disasters strike.

    First, a text from her ex. Next, a humiliating TV interview, in which she tearfully reveals she wants a new job. And the worst blow of all: a surprise work assignment that will take her to the picturesque country of Marisol to cover the prestigious Royal International Canine Invitation dog show. Yes, it’s a dream assignment, but she’s exhausted and homesick.

    Emily cancels her vacation plans and reluctantly flies to Marisol, convinced Christmas is ruined. But is it?

    When she meets a disheveled stranger, she assumes he’s a freelance photographer. Wrong. He’s the prince of Marisol. Emily is beyond embarrassed, but the prince is intrigued and extends a gracious apology—she must be his guest at the palace, where she can work without interruption.

    Yet, instead of peace and quiet, Emily finds happy chaos, thanks to frequent visits by the widowed prince’s two curious children and their shoe-munching dog. Increasingly, she finds herself anticipating their visits. And increasingly, she finds herself attracted to Prince Alexander, who shares her love for animals. In a season of surprises, Emily learns that love comes when one least expects it.

Excerpt

Emily looked at her wristwatch. Not much time. She had two hours to find the photographer, find some dog owners to interview, and come up with a solid first-day story idea before she stopped for the press briefing, which promised to be notoriously dull.

“Maybe I’ll skip it altogether,” Emily said out loud.

“Did you say something?” The driver looked in the mirror and met her eyes.

“Just thinking about work...I’m covering the Royal International Canine Invitational—I’m one of the reporters.”

“Sounds like fun...First trip to Marisol?”

“Yes.”

“It’s a beautiful place. I moved here about 10 years ago. I came for a vacation and never left. There’s a saying here, ‘If you come to Marisol, you’re bound to fall in love.’”

“I don’t think that’s going to happen to me. I’m here to work. I have a lot to do.”

“Don’t be so sure,” the driver said with a sly grin. “Everyone who comes here falls in love. They fall in love with the sea, or the mountains, or the forests. Or, they fall in love with the friendly people and the relaxed way of life. Or, sometimes, they meet someone special, and they fall in love with her or him.” Then the driver added for emphasis, “True love. That’s what happened to me. I fell in love with the country, then I fell in love with the people, then I fell in love with one person in particular.”

Emily shook her head. “I have a lot of work. I’m not going to have time to fall in love with anything or anyone, I assure you.”

Somewhere, in the distance, God laughed.
