Sakura's Secret: Tales of Evermagic, Book 8 (excerpt)

Ales has spent two years in the past with Vikings to hide from her brother. But when the Spirit King demands she return to her own time, she's on the run again. After falling through the roof of an entertainment establishment, she's taken in by a girl and her servant. The conditions? She has to take care of herself. But as a princess turned pirate captain, she doesn't know how.

Takahiro has been waiting for the woman he loves for centuries. But due to a contract he made to save her life, he's stuck serving a little girl instead of looking for her. His quiet life of servitude is shaken up, however, when Ales drops into his lap. With her brother hunting her down to make her his wife, Takahiro is forced to outwit him to keep her safe.

But will the two be able to get along well enough to survive a king's fury? Or will Ale's and Takahiro's worst fears come true?
