Читать книгу The Princess Plan - Julia London - Страница 10

Dear Reader,

I am so excited to introduce a new historical series to you. A Royal Wedding series was inspired by the very real fairy tale we all saw unfold when Meghan Markle married Prince Harry.

The fairytale of a prince and a commoner has endured as the ultimate romantic fantasy—a handsome man of considerable means plucks an unassuming woman (us) from obscurity, puts a crown on our head, sets us up in a big beautiful home with lots of servants to do the washing and cleaning and, bonus, he worships the ground we walk on. You can’t look at the way Prince Harry looks at Meghan and imagine any less.

I wanted to capture that magical thinking after the recent spate of royal weddings. I thought it would be fun to set the fairy tale in London in the Victorian era. But with a bit of a contemporary twist—the women are strong and outspoken characters that today’s readers can relate to. In The Princess Plan, Eliza Tricklebank didn’t go looking for a prince. But after a murder, some titillating gossip, and some snooping around, a prince came looking for her. The rest, as they say, is a happy ever after.

I hope you enjoy The Princess Plan as much as I enjoyed writing it.
