She has been rescued by Richard Stetton, the wealthy playboy son of an American millionaire, who is on a trip to Europe to discover himself. Instead, the somewhat dim-witted Stetton falls into Aline's clutches, and she uses him and his money to win her way into fashionable society. Once she is accepted by the elite, her schemes move her closer and closer to the throne. "A Prize for Princes" is a charming period piece, with a languid evocation of a long-lost Europe that will captivate fans of Stout's later works, as well as readers of historical novels. 606 $aSocial classes$vFiction$7Generated by AI 607 $aEurope$7Generated by AI 615 0$aSocial classes 701 $aStout$b Rex$0553020 701 $aBetancourt$b John Gregory$01744374 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151786103321 996 $aPrize for Princes$94174328 997 $aUNINA
