Playing The Royal Game 

The Santina-Jackson Royal Fairytale: Fact or Fiction? Falling in love with a prince might be every girl s dream, but is Allegra Jackson s royal fairy-tale really all it seems? Allegra s headline-grabbing family have hardly prepared her for a life of public duty and sinfully delicious Prince Alessandro of Santina has always seemed virtually allergic to the idea of settling down changing women so fast the paparazzi can barely keep up! So why, out of all the beautiful socialites his name s been linked with, did the heir to the throne pick ordinary Allegra? The royal rumour-mill is in overdrive, asking if this shock engagement really is a love-match or a desperate arrangement with scandalous consequences.
