Prince Alex Prokov has decided to marry and Lady Livia Lacey is the chosen one. He has his reasons for choosing her, she appeals to him and she lives in the house that he owns. Alex sets to work on gaining a bride as well as entrée to the house, but whether their marriage will be successful is depends upon how well Livia takes to his deception.

What woman wouldn’t want to marry a prince? Livia is thoroughly tickled by the possibility. She comes across as a vibrant and head-strong girl. It is not hard to imagine Alex being bowled over by her effusive and charming personality. Alex is what this reader imagines a prince to be: charming, suave, handsome and rich. He is a major catch on the marriage mart. The reader is aware quite early in the story that Alex wants the house Livia lives in. His mother lived in the house and he is hopeful it will give him some insight to her. She gave him up when he was a babe for his father to raise, thus he never knew her. It is with this backdrop that the courtship and marriage between Alex and Livia takes place. The author has presented us with two strong protagonists who will pull the reader into their story. There is great chemistry between them and it was very enjoyable to watch them together.

To Wed a Wicked Prince is a lovely historical romance. The story is filled with action and readers will enjoy the twist and turns it takes. Those who have read her previous books will not be disappointed.
