Description: When revolution threatens to overrun the tiny kingdom of Beaumontagne, high in the Pyrenees Mountains, three young princesses are sent to safety in England. The two youngest are sent off to a boarding school that unceremoniously kicks them out when the funds stop coming in. Princess Clarice, responsible for keeping her younger sister, Amy, safe, develops a cosmetics scam to earn their way in the world. Going to Scotland with a magistrate on her heels, she ends up in the household of Robert MacKenzie, Earl of Hepburn, purportedly to assist his sister in preparing for a large house party and ball in honor of a hero from the Peninsular War. Robert, knowing Clarice is a con artist but not believing she is a princess, needs her skills to help right a grievous wrong.
