Capitan Dante and the Runaway Princess
(2026)(The first book in the Hot Mediterranean Nights series)
A novel by Carol Marinelli
Princess Seraphine of Aurelia is missing!
After slipping past her royal guards in Venice, the sheltered but rebellious princess finally has what she's always wanted: freedom.
Just for one night.
Facing a loveless political marriage, Seraphine longs to experience life and passion before her future is decided for her.
She’s terrified she’ll die a virgin.
But freedom proves far more dangerous than she ever imagined.
When she stows away aboard a luxury sailing yacht, she's discovered by its owner: Capitán Dante.
A former French Foreign Legion soldier turned yacht captain, Dante is as ruthless as he is devastatingly handsome. He has no interest in rescuing runaway princesses. Yet when armed guards descend on the marina searching for Seraphine, he finds himself doing exactly that.
One stolen kiss to fool her pursuers changes everything. What started as a kiss to deceive awakens desires neither can ignore.
Reluctantly, Dante agrees to take Seraphine to France to reunite with her mother. They make port in Corsica along the way. It’s where he joined the French Foreign Legion and where Seraphine begins to uncover what drove Dante to turn his back on the world.
Dante doesn't do romance. He doesn't do tenderness. And when Seraphine tests the limits of his patience, she discovers he doesn’t tolerate disobedience on his tightly run ship and has no qualms about reining her in.
Yet the spirited princess brings out long-buried feelings in Dante and breaches the citadel he’s built around his heart.
Seraphine sees the man beneath the scars and defenses. After her first tastes of passion, walking away is no longer so easy.
Their attraction burns hotter with every nautical mile. It’s no longer freedom Seraphine craves. It’s her Capitán.
But as France draws closer, duty and desire collide. Seraphine must choose: the royal life she was born to or the forbidden man she never expected to love.
Genre: Romance
