His Highness Is Mine, And So Is the Chaos

Chloe Jaffe has a doctorate in engineering and wakes up in the body of an illegitimate daughter in an old dynasty, a girl her household has been working steadily toward killing. She runs. On the road she finds a badly wounded boy and carries him with her, patches him up, feeds him, and gets nothing back but arrogance and orders. He is spoiled, contrary and rude, and at one point she puts him over her knee for it, which he does not forget. Privately he swears that once he has his strength back he will make her pay for it every day of her life. They separate. Months later he turns up again and he is not a child, he is a tall man who commands a room, and he is the Prince Regent whose reputation for cruelty precedes him everywhere. Chloe is still a woman with no name and no protection, still trying to stay ahead of the family that wants her dead, and the man best placed to help or destroy her is the one she spanked.
