About the book
THE DAWN OF LOVE: a group of rakes decide to test out Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion concept. They choose a girl who has spent the last several years in a convent, to test whether she can fit into their group as one of their own. BRIDE TO THE KING: An arranged marriage between a young princess and an immature king about to ascend his throne distresses the youth. He hates her because she represents the loss of his freedom, and she, feeling sad and lost, turns to the Regent, Prince Sandor, the mature and good-looking uncle that has been ruling Dorsia for the last 8 years.
