<p><b>“The most successful novelist on Planet Earth” (<i>Washington Post</i>), #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Nora Roberts concludes her Cordina’s Royal Family quartet with the story of a noble and commoner discovering that despite their societal roles, their love has no forbidden boundaries in <i>Cordina’s Crown Jewel</i>.</b><br><br>Princess Camilla de Cordina’s life is governed by others. Her appearance is sculpted and behavior is modified so she can be paraded before a gaping media audience only interested in gossip and scandal. Taking a well-deserved “vacation”, she trades her crown for a felt hat and her de Cordina title for the name Camilla MacGee. With no regal entourage in tow, she takes a job in America working for archeologist Delaney Caine in Vermont.<br><br>Focused and driven with his own goals, Del doesn’t treat his staff with pleasantries, much less offer deference to a currently uncrowned princess. Nonetheless, Camilla finds her newfound persona and detailed work rewarding. And when she uncovers a loving heart beneath Del’s hardened exterior, an unexpected mutual desire arises between them—a desire that could very well be extinguished should Camilla reveal her true identity.</p>
