The Playboy Prince (Piacere Princes, Book One)

Prince Salvadore Piacere is not only okay with his status as the "spare" royal - he revels in it. Salvy is more than happy to let his older brother Niccolo deal with the duties of the crown while he uses his position to burn through the finer things in life...especially women. After one too many "I'm carrying the royal baby" scandals and one particularly wild night in Vegas, King Alfonso has had enough. He gives Salvy an ultimatum - either get serious and settle down, or join the church. Salvy has no intention of spending his life in celibacy, but neither does marriage hold much appeal. To counter the king's ridiculous threat, he comes up with a silly idea of his own: he's going to hold a ball to pick out his future bride. By the time the king learns of his younger son's plans, the invitations have been sent and there's no backing out. But there are two things Salvy didn't count on, though-his scheming Uncle Luca and Magdalena Rossi. The former is angry over his lost birthright, and determined to be King of Cielo no matter what the cost. The second, is the royal tailor's daughter. And while she has confidence in her ability to fit Prince Salvy with the perfect suit, she never dreamed she herself would be the perfect fit for his playboy soul.
