Love at first sight isn't real, but Xander couldn't deny his attraction to the stunning woman he met at the Christmas market. Even if she was nobility from Europe and more than a little out of his league. Being a homeless, ex-military man wouldn't win him any favors. Xander wanted to be more than he was, to change his stars.
Lily ran from a list of suitors a mile long only to trip and fall into a man's arms. She let him think she was merely a tourist, and explored his city as he saw it. She didn't expect to find herself attracted to him, or to ever see him again.
When Xander saves the life of an antique shop owner, the man happens to see a rusty lamp Xander held onto from his days overseas. The owner offers Xander a handsome seller's fee, and Xander takes it, knowing with that amount of money, he would change his world. All that was left to do was find Lily and help her choose him over the other men fighting for her attention.
One magic lamp. One displaced army vet and one royal princess are thrown together for a Christmas adventure.
