Plot Summary of The Runaway Princess
"Every girl has a dream of becoming a princess, right? However, when the chance of a becoming a princess presented itself to Miss Evangeline Scoffield, she ran toward the other direction. Evangeline was an English orphan. She had one summer to live her life in luxury, then it is back to work. She never had dreamed that this one summer would cost her more than she had bargained for. When a darkly handsome man appeared at her bedroom door, and claimed to be her fiance AND the crown prince of Baminia, nothing had prepared her for the journey that will make her either an impostor or a true princess.
Danior of Baminia came for his betrothed. Together they will unit the two kingdom of Baminia and Serephina. However, his betrothed ran away. Now he had finally found her, she claimed that she knew nothing of him nor her betrothal to him. This is making it all very difficult for Danior, especially when his own brother is trying to kill him and then seize the throne. Now together Evangeline and Danior will have to do everything in their power to keep themselves and each other safe, but will Evangeline run away again? And what will become of their love for each other?"
