Ready to hit the beach with some great reads? Answer this question about Innocent in the Prince's Bed to win books 1 and 2 in The Royals of Kuban series plus a read-it-before it's released copy of Awakened by the Prince's Passion (due out Aug. 1!).


What figure from Russian folklore does Illarion, the former Kubanian prince poet laureate, compare Dove to? Need a hint? She can't leave her father's forests and longs to be human. She is granted her wish for one day. She lingers with the other young maids in the spring/summertime of her mother only to leap over a bonfire and vanish into the clouds. There are many versions of her story and that is one of them.

The Snow Maiden. She is known as ‘Snegurochka’ in Russian - ‘sneg’ being the Russian word for snow.
