      “I can’t believe I’m actually proposing to commit a felony in order to prove I’m not a prince.”

      “It does sound weird,” Serena admitted.

      “It’s the stuff of comic opera. Ordinary man on the street is suddenly informed he’s a prince. He quite naturally denies it. Then his mother informs him she has been kidnapped, and a dubious figure from the local consulate of the country involved confirms it. Ordinary-man-slash-prince knows better. Neither is he a prince, nor has his conniving mother really been kidnapped. But in order to save this flyspeck of a country buried in the Pyrenees, said ordinary man must now break in to a museum to discover who the real prince is.”

      “If I were an editor, I’m not sure I’d buy the book.” Serena was laughing silently, her eyes dancing.

      Darius laughed with her, aloud. “This is sheer insanity.”

      “I know it is. But I love insanity.”

      Readers can’t resist Sue Civil-Brown’s alluring blend of love and laughter!

      “The zany supporting characters from Civil-Brown’s previous novels are back…in this breezy contemporary romance…. The romance between Derek and Sam will have fans believing in magic.”

      —Publishers Weekly on Next Stop, Paradise

      “The tone is upbeat, the breezes are warm, and the characters and dialogue crackle like lightning before a Florida thunderstorm.”

      —Oakland Press on Catching Kelly

      “Her offbeat characters and humor are wonderful.”

      —Affaire de Coeur on Chasing Rainbow

      “You won’t stop laughing or reading until the very end.”

      —Amazon.com on Carried Away

      “A powerhouse author.”

      —Romantic Times reviewer Melinda Helfer

      PROLOGUE

      MARIA TERESA MAXWELL believed in God. That He existed was beyond question. Still, it would be nice if He would listen when she told Him what to do. Instead, like her late husband and her son, God insisted on making up His own mind. Men, she thought with a huff of impatience.

      Worse, her late husband, her son and God all seemed to have something else in common. They had absolutely no sense
