Plot Summary of Command Performance
"Eve has come back to Cordina to direct several performances in their new civic arts center. Several years before she had visited with her sister and developed a close friendship with Bennett, the younger prince, and a foolish fantasy about Alexander, the heir. But Alex is a jerk and so certain that Eve and Bennett are involved, so he denies his own attraction for Eve, even as he goes to the greatest lengths to protect her from the man trying to destroy his father's country."
Sarrah, Resident Scholar

"Eve Hamilton falls in love with Prince Alexander while thinking all along she hated him. While a madman tries to destroy the Royal family of Cordina the love between them grows."
Lissy, Resident Scholar
