Plot summary

Eight years after the events of Forever Princess, Mia has graduated from college, and runs a youth community center in New York City. She is still dating Michael, and remains close to her high school friends. Her father, Prince Phillipe, is embroiled in scandal when he is arrested for car racing on the streets of New York, damaging his chances at re-election.

While on vacation in the Exumas, Michael proposes to Mia, and she happily accepts. Upon their return to New York, Grandmere tells her of a shocking discovery: Phillipe fathered an illegitimate child 12 years ago in a fling with a now-deceased charter flight pilot, and has been secretly making child-support payments all this time. After he confesses to Mia, she tracks down her half-sister, Olivia Grace, in New Jersey, where she is being raised by her maternal aunt's family. Upon discovering that they are treating her poorly, she takes Olivia back to New York, where they are soon subject to intense press exposure and a custody battle with Olivia's aunt and uncle, who have been embezzling the child-support money. To complicate matters, Mia finds out that she is pregnant with twins.

As she brings Olivia into the family while preparing for the wedding, Mia comes to understand what Grandmere has been trying to teach her for years: in the real world, there will be no one to cushion blows for you, and every challenge she has faced has been to prepare her for a situation like Olivia's. Phillipe, realizing that he is still in love with Mia's mother (to Grandmere's dismay), abdicates, and moves to Genovia with her, Rocky, and Olivia. At the end of the novel, Mia marries Michael, and prepares for her new life as crown princess of Genovia.
