I'm hiding out from my royal family in the snowy mountains of Montana.

But I can't ignore the calls for help from a damsel in distress.

My parents—the King and Queen of Thornfjord—insist I marry... and soon.

Because at 35, I'm officially the oldest unwed prince in the Nordic region.

Marriage is not something I want to be pressured into, so I run off to a place no one would ever find me—Frozen Heights.

That's when I hear a tiny voice calling out in the middle of a blizzard.

I find a cold and confused raven-haired enchantress that upends my entire world.

And once I've spent the night warming her up, I know she's my princess.

If only I could convince her this is real life and not a fairytale.

Rescued by the Rugged Prince is a short, steamy, instalove featuring a nature-loving heroine who believes she hit her head during the storm, and a Scandinavian prince that'll do whatever it takes to prove he's real.
