In the third and final book of the series, A PRINCE ON PAPER (Avon, paper, .99), Cole brings us to the tiny European kingdom of Liechtienbourg, where we finally get to spend a full book with Johan Maximillian von Braustein, stepson of the king of Liechtienbourg and a notorious tabloid-ready playboy.
