Advertising executive Nick Lanborne is about to land the biggest account of his career. His proposal for his campaign: hire Princess Alexis Markova, heir to the last ruling family of Montavia, to be spokesperson for a new fragrance called Royal Blue. The plan seems simple until he discovers that the Brooklyn-born princess doesn't have a clue about her noble heritage.

Alexis Marks is working two jobs to make ends meet. Her ailing grandmother is in need of constant health care. Her Nana's peculiar rambling about palaces and princes are a neighborhood joke and give Alexis cause for concern. So the last thing she needs is some man trying to convince her that she is an obscure European princess---even if that man is the stuff that princely dreams are made of. Then he makes her an offer fit for a queen.

Nick Lanborne has built a career out of selling illusions. But when he decides to play Pygmalion with Alexis, he discovers the real woman inside is more dazzling than the fantasy he created.
