Prince

The Prince is the fourth book in Katharine Ashe's Devil's Duke series, a historical romance set in Edinburgh's medical world.

Libby Shaw refuses to accept society's dictates. She is determined to become a member of Edinburgh's all-male Royal College of Surgeons, and disguising herself as a man she attends the surgical theatre and fools everyone, except the one man who has never forgotten the shape of her lips.

Forced to leave his home as a boy, the famed portraitist Ziyaeddin is secretly the exiled prince of a distant realm. When he first met Libby he memorised every detail of her face and drew her, and her lips gave him trouble then as they do now.

When Libby asks his help to hide her feminine identity from the world, Ziyaeddin agrees on one condition: she must sit for him to paint, as a woman. What begins as a daring scheme could send them both toward danger and an unparalleled love.
