    Then there she was… plus one. I had a plan for my life: one day rule the kingdom. Simple and straightforward. And nothing in it about falling in love. Love was never a priority. Politics. Social events. Royal responsibilities. That’s all I had time for. And hey, when I did blow off steam, my ego indulged. Art. Wine. Food… women. The truth is, though, it was more for show than anything else. Deep down, where I’d buried it, a part of me longed for more. A challenge. A companion. A missed opportunity. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d meet again. Ruby. My sweet, curvy American black rose… Regret was something I vowed never to feel again. So now that I know I have a daughter, I won’t allow her or Ruby to slip through my fingers. Ruby doesn’t trust me yet, but she will. I’ll make her see that I’m not the man she thinks I am. Whether she likes it or not, I will claim what’s rightfully mine… Note: Prince's Unknown Black Baby Daughter is a steamy romance between a royal prince and his long lost black American love, and includes a baby daughter he didn't know existed.

Perhaps to find the truth, the police need help that is every bit as unhinged as the case…
