The Price of Duty

This is a lovely second chance romance involving royalty, secrets and misunderstandings which all go together well and make it a story that had me turning the pages, Gemma is a quiet girl who works hard and is enjoying a holiday and Udo is on holidays as well and having fun, they meet and fall in love but neither are honest about their backgrounds and when Gemma left quickly she never thought to see Udo again.
Gemma is in the small principality of Monte Picatti searching for minerals to make this principality rich they need funds desperately, when Gemma meets Prince Udolfo she is shocked to find it is the man who has her heart from five years ago, but finding that love again was not going to happen, unless her very rich father makes it his business to get his daughter a Prince for a husband.
Prince Udolfo is doing what he can to save his country, they are in need of money and lots of it and finding minerals hopefully will save them but not quick enough and when he is offered marriage to the daughter of a mining magnate with payment that will keep his country going into the future, he must do his duty. Then he meets the woman who stole his heart and life is turned upside down.
Secrets that are kept can come back later and cause a lot of headaches, Udo is torn between saving his country and going with his heart, Gemma is having a big issue with trust at this stage and add in a couple of misunderstandings and then throw in some danger and Udo has to fight hard to prove his worth and that his love is still strong. I really loved Udo and Gemma both are caring and strong and will stand up for what they think that is do the right thing.
I do highly recommend this story is was a fabulous read with a beautiful HEA, the setting was lovely and the characters were easy to get to know. Thank you MS Marsden for my copy to read
