Marriageable Princess, or Dates Across the Centuries, The

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. She was promised to a 70-year-old Duke. Then she fainted and woke up 300 years in the future. Now, she must navigate a world where chivalry is dead, and the knights wear skinny jeans. After collapsing in her family’s cypress forest in 1787, Princess Violanta della Rovere awakens in a strange, humming world. Mistaken for her own eccentric great-great-great-granddaughter by a dotty matriarch with Alzheimer's, Violanta is appalled by the state of modern manhood. Influencers, spiritually-enlightened man-children, narcissists, and guys who still live with their mothers—this is the dating pool? Armed with nothing but her withering sarcasm and unshakable sense of honor, she declares a crusade against the absurdity. Her mission: to find a real man. A knight. A hero. Her guide: a league of surviving aristocrats who are just as bewildered as she is. Her weapon: a lethal wit that can dismantle a narcissist's ego faster than a sword thrust. But when a chivalry-deficient cyclist knocks her off her feet—literally—she finds herself in the care of Dr. Lorenzo Esposito. He’s a man whose strength lies not in a sword, but in a scalpel, and whose honor is proven not on a battlefield, but in an operating room. For the first time, Violanta has met her match. But can a princess from the past teach a modern man how to be her knight, or will she have to learn that some virtues are truly timeless? This romantic comedy includes: A fierce, fish-out-of-water heroine you'll root for. A slow-burn romance with a genuinely honorable hero. Laugh-out-loud satire of modern dating culture. A cast of lovable, quirky secondary characters. A heartwarming message about love, honor, and responsibility across the ages.
