When Mia Marcelli went undercover for the CIA five years ago, her first assignment was to infiltrate a gang of thieves who were selling artifacts out of the country. After she met the ring leader Diego, she fell in love with him but was heartbroken when she watched him die.

Now Mia has her beautiful son to take care of and has gotten past the worst of her grief when she wakes up to the man she knew as Diego in her bed saying that he didn’t die and that he is Rafael, Prince of Calandria and their son is the heir to the throne.

Rafael is determined to take his son back to Calandria so he can be groomed for the throne. He knows that Mia cannot be bought and won’t give her son up without a fight. So he plans to seduce and marry her but his plan backfires when he starts to fall for her.

The Marcelli Princess is an entertaining, passionate tale that will delight and amuse your senses as you get to read Mia’s story.

Author Susan Mallery has an amazing ability to create characters that are strong and fiery while at the same time being vulnerable and sensitive. I could easily relate to Mia’s need to protect her child at any cost while also balancing the need for him to know his father. Rafael’s desires were a little harder to grasp until you understood his past.

The Marcelli Princes is a must read for anyone who has followed the spunky Marcelli sisters and anyone looking for a gripping romance. 5 Angels!
