The Princess Problem
(2026)(A book in the Darcy & Elizabeth Rom Com Collection series)
A novel by Melanie Rachel
He doesn’t believe in fairy tales. She’s living one she can’t escape.
Elizabeth Bennet has always known her father was a prince, she simply never expected it to matter. Living quietly in Hertfordshire with her mother’s family, her royal blood seems irrelevant. But just after her eighteenth birthday, an envoy from the Thurnian court arrives with an invitation: her grandfather the king wishes to welcome her into the royal family.
Miles away in Derbyshire, Fitzwilliam Darcy faces pressure of his own. His uncle the earl wants him to reclaim a title stripped from his family hundreds of years ago. Having both family and friends who are members of the aristocracy, Darcy knows firsthand that such a life holds no appeal for a man who values his independence.
When a winter storm strands them together at a remote inn, the last thing Darcy expects is to encounter a young woman claiming to be a Thurnian princess. Because he knows Thurnia has no princesses, he is certain she’s lying. Yet as their uneasy journey continues and the behaviour of her chaperone grows increasingly odd, Darcy begins to suspect that the deception hides more than a fanciful tale, and that uncovering the truth may actually be dangerous.
What begins as a chance encounter in a snowbound inn becomes a journey where treachery reveals a nobility no title could ever bestow.
The Princess Problem is the fourth standalone novel in the Darcy & Elizabeth Rom Com Collection.
*This is a full-length novel of approximately 90,000 words
