The Duke's Princess Bride — Amalie Howard

Born to an Indian maharaja, Princess Sarani Rao has it all: beauty, riches, and a crown. But with a British mother, her mixed blood makes her a pariah and a target. And when Sara's father is murdered, her only hope of survival is to escape on the next ship out -- captained by the boy she once loved...and spurned.

Captain Rhystan Huntley, the reluctant Duke of Embry, has a place in the English fleet, which he's loathe to give up. But duty is calling him home, and this is his final voyage. Leave it to fate that the one woman he's ever loved must escape India on his ship.
