Author Note (#ulink_9eb074a8-4208-5a2f-bb02-500065ea6903)

A couple of years ago I read a non-fiction book that espoused the idea that if you do what you love, the rest will follow. This is a theme that many people struggle to balance with ‘reality’ through their lifetimes. Do we pursue our dreams even when we can’t see how those dreams will pay the bills or keep our families secure? Or do we ‘do the right thing’ and follow the traditional paths laid out by society?

I wanted to explore this theme with Evie and Dimitri’s story. They are both trapped by social expectations and have spent their lives living up—or, in Evie’s case, living down—to those standards at great personal cost to themselves. Their relationship allows both of them to explore who they truly want to be.

Of course it’s easy to say ‘follow your dreams’. The truth is, the reality of doing it is a lot harder. What I like best about this story is that Dimitri and Evie don’t simply say, ‘To hell with society—we’ll strike out for ourselves.’ That’s not how it works for them—or for us. What makes this story special is how they find a way through all that without compromising and without jeopardising others—ultimately, this is a story about love’s great balancing act.

I hope you enjoy Evie and the Prince of Kuban in their story. Here’s a teaser for you—look for May and Beatrice’s stories next, and beyond that look for a chance to meet four other Princes of Kuban in a new Bronwyn Scott series.
