That Prince Is Mine - by Jayci Lee (Paperback)

About the Book

"A love-averse Korean royal court cuisine instructor is waylaid by a gorgeous professor-and prince in disguise-who will do anything to prove to her that love and happily ever after can be theirs. Emma Yoon dreams of opening her very own culinary school in Los Angeles. She's saving up for it by teaching young ladies the art of Korean royal court cuisine, a prerequisite to marrying into the exclusive upper crust Korean families. Thanks to her godmother, a renowned Korean matchmaker, business is booming, and Emma doesn't have the time, nor the desire, to settle down herself. But when rival matchmakers come after her godmother by taking issue with Emma's single status, her godmother's reputation and Emma's dreams face potential ruin. To save them both, Emma sets out on a series of arranged first dates to find the perfect-on-paper husband-even if she's not ready for love. But after several disastrous first dates, she meets the gorgeous and irresistible Michel Aubert, a professor at USC and most definitely not her ideal match. Prince Michel Aubert is bound by duty and responsibility to his country, but he refuses to marry a woman handpicked by his elders. If he must spend the rest of his life in service of his people, he wants to do it with someone he loves and trusts by his side. He only has one chance of evading the arranged marriage-by finding a bride he does love in a few short weeks before the engagement is formally announced. Michel escapes to Los Angeles and assumes the role of an ordinary professor to find the love of his life, someone who loves him for himself rather than his crown. And serendipity leads him right to Emma Yoon, who might just be the woman of his dreams"--
