Nobody's Princess
Nothing happens in London without Graham Wynchester knowing. His massive collection of intelligence is invaluable to his family's mission of aiding those most in need. So when he deciphers a series of coded messages in the scandal sheets, Graham's convinced he must come to a royal's rescue. But his quarry turns out not to be a princess at all...

This mission in London is a chance to prove herself worthy without help from a man, not even one as devilishly handsome as Graham.

The book starts off with Kuni and Graham knowing that their relationship is not permanent. She is going back to her home country after proving that she is fully capable of being a Royal Guardsman like her ancestors before her. Graham is committed to the work that he and his family are doing in England and won’t follow her back to her country.
However, as Kuni works with the Wynchesters on saving a local community from the greedy clutches of a cotton factory owner, she realizes that she doesn’t need to protect only one person. The Wynchesters also value her as her own person with her own skills and strengths, unlike her brothers who doubt her every move and ability.
While there was definitely romance in this book, it seemed like Ridley focused more on the family dynamics as Kuni interacted with the Wynchesters instead of the romance between Kuni and Graham. I did enjoy this story and will continue reading the Wynchester series, but I didn’t enjoy book three as much as I did book two, Perks of Loving a Wallflower. Overall, 3.5 stars for me.
