Jude is the crown prince of Belden, living incognito in America to attend university and majoring in international studies. He does not believe in a life of privilege, but he has vowed to serve his country after his sister chose to live as a commoner. He met Becca, his feisty neighbor, and fellow student (though majoring in fashion design) first in a cafe, then at his door. The reception was quite hostile as he was quite abrupt in the cafe, and later he had turned up his music that she had come to complain about the noise level. Later, when Becca needs help for a class in his major, he is glad to know his neighbor better and make peace. And sparks flew. But Jude and Becca can't be more different. Becca is solidly lower-middle class, and Jude is royalty with a life of privilege. Then Becca was invited to visit Belden because her distant aunt had passed away... Just as Jude went home for vacation... and they bumped to each other in Belden... and his secret identity was exposed...
A better than average brush-with-royalty romance, this one has spark and bits of brilliance, as she's NOT some damsel in distress waiting for rescue. However, why is a fashion designer taking a class on international studies? That is only nagging plausibility question. There's a twist at the end, but it's not as bad as it sounds.
