The princess Stakes

By Amalie Howard (Used Paperback — see photos for condition)

The Princess Stakes is the first book in Amalie Howard’s Daring Dukes series — a lush, multicultural historical romance blending adventure at sea with forbidden love and sharp social commentary.

The story follows Princess Sarani Rao, daughter of an Indian maharaja and a British noblewoman. When her father is murdered, Sarani must flee India to save her life. Her escape route? A ship captained by Rhystan Huntley, the man she once loved and pushed away — now a reluctant duke returning to England.

As danger closes in, Sarani and Rhystan confront old wounds, simmering attraction, and the realities of racism, colorism, and belonging in Victorian society. The novel is praised for its vivid writing, swoony romance, and its thoughtful handling of identity and heritage.
