Rich playboy, Prince Kristen's time has run out and he has been ordered to marry quickly, produce an heir and do it all in secret! Why? Because his older brother (the crown prince) has contracted a fatal illness and Kristen must be ready to take over the monarchy when his father retires. The Danish Prince disguises himself and travels to the United States to find a bride. Only he discovers that Morgan, the woman he meets and marries, has a dark past she can't bring herself to reveal to her husband. Meanwhile, Morgan never suspects that her Kristen has been keeping a bigger secret. A Princess in the Making is a contemporary love story that retells the Biblical story of Hosea and Gomer (a prophet who is told by God to marry a prostitute). Melody Crombie lived in Germany as a teenager and traveled throughout Europe with her family while her step-father was in the military. Her husband, who is of Danish descent, was her inspiration for Prince Kristen. She currently lives in Northern California with her husband and children.

When women were admitted to the Royal Academy Schools in 1860, female art students gained a foothold in the most conservative art institution in England. The Royal Female College of Art, the South Kensington Schools and the Slade School of Fine Art also produced increasing numbers of women artists. Their entry into a male-dominated art world altered the perspective of other artists and the public. They came from disparate levels of society--Princess Louise, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, studied sculpture at the National Art Training School--yet they all shared ambition, talent and courage. Analyzing their education and careers, this book argues that the women who attended the art schools during the 1860s and 1870s--including Kate Greenaway, Elizabeth Butler, Helen Allingham, Evelyn De Morgan and Henrietta Rae--produced work that would accommodate yet subtly challenge the orthodoxies of the fine art establishment. Without their contributions, Victorian art would be not simply the poorer but hardly recognizable to us today.
