Once a princess - Johanna Lindsey

Tanya, mysterious raven-haired dancer in a rustic Mississippi tavern, little knew that she was really the Princess Tatiana from the far-off kingdom of Cardinia.When bold, golden-eyed Prince Stefan came in search of her, determined to claim her as his own and carry out his father's dying wish, the spirited Tanya spurned his affections while inflaming his royal blood with a fiery passion.

Even as she tried to escape she was still irresistibly drawn to him, until the young princess at last yielded to the sensuous conquest of her brazen prince, and discovered her true destiny.
