Autrice del bestseller Dopo tutto sei arrivato tu Innamorarsi del proprio capo non è mai una buona idea. Specialmente se si tratta di un re. Quando mi sono proposta come tata per una ricca famiglia aristocratica, non mi sarei mai aspettata di finire nel palazzo reale di Copenaghen. Adesso la custodia delle due adorabili principessine della Danimarca è affidata a me. Adattarmi alla mia nuova vita non è facile, ma la parte più difficile non è avere a che fare con le ragazze che ancora soffrono per la perdita della madre. È il loro padre. Freddo, misterioso e lunatico, re Aksel riesce a penetrare la mia anima con uno sguardo. E da come mi evita, sembra che voglia avermi intorno il meno possibile. Eppure più a lungo condivido con lui le mura del palazzo e più mi sento irrimediabilmente attratta da lui.
