The Princess Stakes

There's tension brewing on the high seas between a stowaway Indian princess and a British sea captain in this "vivid, sensual, and beautifully written" historical romance (Lisa Kleypas, #1 New York Times–bestselling author). "Star-crossed, swoony, steamy love. . . . A unique and truly resonant read." —Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times–bestselling author Princess Sarani Rao is on the run. In her best disguise, she stows away on the next British ship out of India. But her secret won't be safe for long. As the port fades in her wake, Sara takes her first salty breath of relief when a handsome old flame discovers her. The Duke of Embry has enough on his plate. Considering his troublesome new dukedom and his oath to queen, country, and crew, the last thing Captain Rhystan Huntley wants is to help the woman who broke his heart. Still, he cannot deny his lingering desire for her. With rough waters ahead, the two clash even as forgotten passions flare, but their journey to love has spanned years, continents, and countries, and will be their greatest adventure of all. "Amalie Howard is the fresh voice historical romance needs right now. She deftly marries a classic trope to an original plot and the effect is superb! Her prose is delightful, her writing masterful, her characters unforgettable." —Kerrigan Byrne, USA Today–bestselling author "Readers looking for historical escapism will be swept up in Sarani and Rhystan's high-seas adventures." —Library Journal
