The Prince kisses her, instead of her twin sister.Elise never intends to marry. Marriage is far too restricting, in her estimation. Instead, she grasps what freedom there is in running her Great Aunt Annalies’ boarding house. When Danyal, newly crowned Prince of Pandev, kisses her by mistake, her delicately balanced contentment is shattered.Danyal isn’t in England to find a wife, as society … find a wife, as society believes. An English wife would offend the Balkan Separatists who threaten his principality. Such a wife would also defeat his desire to separate his family from the stained reputation which dogs it, which the former Prince, his uncle Kosta, was never fully successful in removing.
So why can he not stop thinking about that simple—delightful—kiss, and the woman he held in his arms for only a moment?

Praise for previous Scandalous series:
If you haven’t started this series, start right now and you will fall in love with this very unconventional family during a time when rules, etiquette and unwritten rules had to be followed or the lack of them would bring scandal and ruin to an entire family.
I love these books. Tracy creates these characters so well and with such care. I really recommend reading this series.
I am overwhelmed by how much I have enjoyed this series so far. It was not superficial fluff as I thought it might be when I began. Cooper-Posey books have touched on so many universal themes.
Her characters are admirable people who love their family and are capable of deep romantic love as well.
I just love this series and the books just keep getting better and better. This series takes us on a romp through historical times, which I love.
If you haven’t read this magnificent series you must do so now; you will love each story, be moved by each of them, fall in love with the heroines and heroes, you will cheer for them and just as loudly boo the villains.
Love this series and have bought them all.
This entire series is filled with so much love for each other and family, that there is no way you cannot be emotionally drawn into each story.

A terrifically wonderful love story. Twins, one dying to marry above her station, the other wanting nothing to do with marriage at all. Fate sees it differently. Under mistaken identity a Prince is met; a Prince who must marry well in order to keep his people happy. It’s understood by both that there will be nothing between them. Too bad their natural urges don’t seem to agree. That’s it, all I have to say, as you will have to read it to learn all the intrigue, danger, marvelously sensuous loving that may happen in the beginning, inbetween and the end.
Anna and Elise, managing the Board House. I love that they are twins but completely different. This is Elise’s story and she is the independent one, with big dreams that do not include marriage. But one kiss… one kiss… with a Prince, living in tense political times, might change her heart. As any book from Ms Tracy, it is wonderfully written in a way that takes you through every one of the chapters like you are living in their time. I can’t get enough of these scandalous family!
This is the story that starts with a kiss between Elise and Danyal, Prince of Pandev, who thinks he is kissing her twin sister and ends with a happily ever after. Tracy Cooper-Posey is a brilliant writer who delves into the past with realistic details and vivid descriptions. There are depths to her characters that make them seem so real. The story takes place in the Victorian Era and shows the dark side of the highly moralistic and rigid English Society of the times. Well written and exciting, I loved this book!
This book had me at the first mistaken identity kiss and it just got better from there. The time period is wonderfully referenced in this story of people finding their sense of self and sometimes even discovering things are not as they thought. I love that older characters from previous books are sprinkled throughout this story of a prince and a feminist who meet unexpectedly and everything gets going from there. A wonderful story that I simply could not put down. Ms. Cooper-Posey never fails to write an engaging, richly drawn story. I cannot wait to see what she has for us in future books in this series.
Fabulous story; I loved it! Elise and Danyal are an incredibly romantic couple and Great-Aunt Annalies is brilliant. These characters will grab you, make you part of their family, and never let go.
Tracy Cooper-Posey is an astounding writer!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader copy of this book.
An Amazing Trip Back to an Earlier Time!!
I simply adore these stories, and their related series. It is not an easy time – societal expectations abound; especially if you are female. When Elise is mistaken for her twin sister Ann, and the recipient of the kiss from Prince Selahattin Danyal Bora of Pandev, lives are impacted.
Brilliant case of mistaken identity, the trials of being a ruler, and the decision whether to tie yourself to another. The reader is transported to an earlier time, and feels a part of the action.
