About this ebook

What happens when three Indian princesses fall in love with three East India Company officers?

When sisters Suniti, Sarla, and Vinita Singh enter the local market, they didn't expect to meet their soulmates. Daughters of the Maharaja of Bikaner, these sisters believed they knew what fate held for them: arranged marriages. But a casual trip into town changes everything when they spy three East India Company men negotiating with a local seamstress. Intrigued by the men's integrity and generosity, the sisters can't help their curiosity.

Robert de Redvers, Theodore Rowe, and William Abbington believed they knew why they came to northwestern India: adventure. While still getting used to their newest assignment, the three East India Company officers venture to the market for more comfortable clothing. But none imagined the three young women they spy will change their destiny. Unaware that they encountered three royal sisters, the men wonder if they'll ever meet the women again.

In this tale of opposites attract, each couple must find their way to a happily ever after when outside forces would keep them apart. Impending betrothals, duty, religious and cultural differences, and unconvinced parents could derail these romances before they begin.

This STEAMY PREQUEL NOVELLA launches Celeste's Smugglers Run series, a special Regency series that celebrates diversity through accurate history with heat. This book now includes a never-before-seen Epilogue.

From the opening pages of this novella, there is a sense of urgency and suspense as three young officers struggle to keep the peace between the forces employed by the East India Company and the local people of India. Unlike many of their contemporaries, they respect the inhabitants of the land and do their best to ensure good relations with the Maharaja Singh. Tensions are ramped up when Rob, Theo and Will meet the Maharaja's daughters.
