Angelica
My 23rd birthday is coming up, so I should be excited to get my royal inheritance as the princess of Austero. Unfortunately, my father, the king, is stuck in his ways and insists on upholding old traditions that dictate that I must be arranged in marriage first. I want to stick up for myself, but I also need that money to break away and start a life of my own. It would seem that I'm trapped, until a handsome deckhand makes an offer that will surely turn the tides. But am I prepared for the ensuing maelstrom with my family?

I wouldn't have believed in love at first sight, until it happened to me. As soon as I see Princess Angelica boarding the yacht I work on, I know I need a plan to make her mine. When I learn about her predicament, I'm both horrified on her behalf, and inspired. I've got an idea, but I'll have to act fast. Maybe I'm sailing too close to the wind, but I've got one chance and I'm taking it. Batten down the hatches, royal family!
