Izumi soon finds herself caught between worlds, and between versions of herself-back home, she was never “American” enough, and in Japan, she must prove she’s “Japanese” enough. There are conniving cousins, a hungry press, a scowling but handsome bodyguard who just might be her soulmate, and thousands of years of tradition and customs to learn practically overnight. But being a princess isn’t all ball gowns and tiaras. In a whirlwind, Izumi travels to Japan to meet the father she never knew and discover the country she always dreamed of. Which means outspoken, irreverent Izzy is literally a princess. Izumi Tanaka has never really felt like she fit in-it isn't easy being Japanese American in her. But then Izumi discovers a clue to her previously unknown father’s identity…and he’s none other than the Crown Prince of Japan.
