description: An eNovella featuring a runaway princess and the earl who finds her -- a sneak peek into New York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins's delightful new Duchess Diaries series.
  
  Princess Menshikov of Oxenburg, Alexandra Romanovin, is done being courted by men interested only in her position and wealth. Inspired by tales told by a beloved tutor of the bold and brawny men of Scotland, Alexandra visits that misty land, hoping to find true love. But while traveling without the protection of her royal name, she finds herself accused of thievery by an angry innkeeper. Rescued by the dashing and handsome Earl of Kintore, she thinks she's found the answer to her prayers -- a man worth falling in love with.
  
  But Kintore has other ideas. An avowed bachelor who long ago swore off marriage, the earl wants nothing more than a passionate interlude with this beautiful, exotic stranger. But soon Alexandra's intoxicating beauty and seductive touch leave Kintore wondering if a mere interlude will be enough...
