A sua missão aparentemente fácil revelara-se… quase impossível! Veronica St. John enfrentava o maior desafio da sua vida. Em apenas dois dias, tinha de ensinar a um desagradável membro das Forças Especiais do Exército como agir para se fazer passar por um príncipe europeu que estava a ser ameaçado por um grupo de terroristas. Era uma missão complicada, no entanto Veronica tinha a certeza de que conseguiria concretizá-la… até conhecer Joe. Apesar de fisicamente ser muito parecido com o bonito príncipe, o tenente Joe Catalanotto não tinha nada a ver com o afectado aristocrata. Tudo nele, desde a arrogância dos seus olhos ao seu sotaque nova-iorquino, demonstrava que era um homem normal, não um príncipe. Apenas com um encontro, Veronica soube que seria impossível transformá-lo num membro da realeza. Pelo contrário, Joe estava completamente convencido de ter tudo o que era necessário para levar a bom porto aquela missão.
