Princess Ever After

January 1, 2014
Regina Reggie Beswick has left her job as a high-powered CPA to help her father's lifelong friend and his ex-marine buddies restore classic cars. Mike, her friend since childhood, has an unrequited love for Reggie and feels that she has made a terrible career move. But Reggie is living her dream and loving her life. Fate has, however, other things in store for Reggie. It turns out that she's a lost princess of Hessenberg, a small European country. When her true identity comes to light, Tanner Burkhardt, Hessenberg's minister of culture, is sent to Florida to retrieve her. Without reigning royalty, it turns out, Hessenberg will lose its status as a sovereign nation, so Tanner's mission is vital to the survival of his country. But the all-American, car-loving Reggie has no desire to take up a tiara in Europe, and Tanner has his work cut out for him. This delightful, faith-based twist on a familiar theme is the first book in Hauck's (Once upon a Prince, 2013) new inspirational series, Once upon a Princess.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
