About the Author

Prince Lorenzo Borghese was born in Milan and moved to New York City in 1997. He is the owner and creator of Royal Treatment pet products and is one of the largest suppliers of Italian private label cosmetics.

Editorial Reviews

Borghese’s first novel, writing about his ancestors, is a labor of love ... Pauline is a spitfire of a heroine—flawed, petulant, extremely unlikable, and mesmerizing. Throughout, the most compelling evolution is Sophie’s as she, like the reader, moves from being enamored with Pauline to disenchanted, but incapable of leaving her.” — Publishers Weekly

“A readable, racy romp.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Historical fiction fans with an intense interest in Bonaparte lore will be intrigued by this account” — Library Journal
