“This is so lame,” Sierra grumbled. She’d been on the phone with Beth, making plans to go down to the waterfront. They were going to spend the afternoon doing some shopping and hanging out, and then she was going to meet Paolo when he finished work.

It was, in her opinion, the perfect way to spend a summer afternoon. Except that her mother had kiboshed those plans because she wanted Sierra to spend the day with her. Which wouldn’t have been such a hardship, really. Gabriella was pretty cool, as far as mothers went. She didn’t harp on Sierra all the time about her clothes or her make-up, the way Rachel’s mother did. And she was usually flexible about her curfew, as long as she knew where Sierra was and who she was with.

But when Sierra tried to wriggle out of spending the afternoon with her, this time she was completely inflexible. And it wasn’t even because she wanted some private mother-daughter time, it was because she wanted Sierra to get to know Prince Cameron. And maybe Sierra had thought it was sweet when she’d first met him and realized the man standing in her living room was royalty, but now, it was kind of weird.

She’d Googled him, out of curiosity, and she’d been stunned by the amount of information that was on the internet about him. The basic facts were well-known. He was the second son and middle child of the princess royal, Elena Marissa Santiago Leandres, and her deceased husband, Gaetan Rainier Leandres, which meant that Prince Cameron was fourteenth in line to the throne—not likely to ever rule the country but not completely out of the running, either, which was sort of cool. He’d been educated at St. Mary’s College in Port Augustine and at Cambridge University and had spent several years traveling abroad before returning home to accept a position in the royal cabinet. His Royal Highness Prince Rowan Santiago, the current prince regent, had made the original appointment and recently named him the country’s new Minister of Trade.

Aside from all of that, most of the other stuff she found was gossip—photos of women he’d dated, rumors of engagements, reports of break-ups. He’d dated a lot of women, but not any one woman for any length of time, and even if only half the stories she read were true (because she was savvy enough to know she couldn’t believe everything she read on the internet), she felt that she had reason to worry about his interest in her mother.

Gabriella was every bit as beautiful as any of the other women he’d dated, but she lacked their worldliness and sophistication. Sierra couldn’t help but wonder how her mother had caught his eye and what his intentions were toward her. And she decided that, as much as she resented having to change her own plans, it was probably a good idea for her to keep any eye on things.

Gabriella finished wrapping the plate of brownies. “I thought you would enjoy an afternoon on the water.
