The Princess and the Outlaw
by Leanne Banks

PRINCESS PIPPA'S FORBIDDEN ROMANCE

The shy, studious one among the royal Devereaux family of Chantaine, Pippa wasn't known for controversy.

So her brief romance with Texas tycoon Nic Lafitte---of the detested-by-the-Devereaux Lafittes---had to end. Too bad Pippa couldn't get the darkly handsome, modern-day outlaw out of her mind!

Given their generations-long family feud, Nic was stunned when the sweet princess secretly defied the Devereaux clan to fulfill a Lafitte's dying wish. But if Nic gave in to his attraction to Pippa, he'd break her heart---again. He tried to resist her...until a night of passion led to a little Devereaux-Lafitte! Now the royal and the Texan have to somehow bring two worlds, and two families, together.
