Plot Summary of The Playboy Prince
"From the first, Lady Hannah fascinated Bennett simply because she was cool and distant--and very much unlike what he was used to. While weathering the political sabotage occurring in his father's company, Bennett manages to spend a great deal of time with Hannah. Then he discovers that she is a spy, a double agent working for his father, and not at all what Bennett thought."
Sarrah, Resident Scholar

"A secret agent Hannah Rothchild is chosen out of many to destroy an evil organization run by a man who is trying to murder the royal family of Cordina. Prince Bennett de Cordina not knowing who she is falls in love with her."
Lissy, Resident Scholar
