Meera Chopra wants to study history, not become it!

All I want to do is study and teach about the history of Indians in the United Kingdom. The studying part is going great…the teaching part could be going better. Mostly because so many still refuse to acknowledge that there were Indians in the United Kingdom before the 1950s.

But I’m not going to stop trying. It’s what led me to a costume ball at a history conference in England. And the frustration of no one listening, along with a truly unnecessary amount of clothing layers and architecture that is hostile to the clumsy, led me to tumble down some historic stairs…and into history.

Now Queen Victoria has mistaken me for a princess and taken me under her protection, I’m in a fake relationship with a marquess who’s on the hunt for a rich heiress, and I have to avoid getting caught by suspicious people who don’t trust me.

I need to find a way home, and fast, before the queen finds out I’m a liar. And not get distracted by the attractive half-Indian marquess who is determined to make me have fun while he fake courts me. But how can I resist a man with a carriage who knows his way around a waltz?
