Storming the Castle by Eloisa James
Haha, you thought I was going to clean the house - don't be crazy! How can I clean the house when in the middle of cleaning said house, I discover another unread book! There is no option but to stop and read it, the laundry can wait. Who needs their clothes folded and put away anyways, clean should be good enough.
This is a novella that follows one of her earlier fairy tale based books - the Cinderella one. Now the prince and princess are hapily married and have a baby who is unfortunately quite sick. The FMC in this book lives in a neighboring village and is engaged to be married to someone she dislikes immensely. So she runs away when she hears that the baby prince needs a new nurse. While she is at the castle she meets the Prince's illigetimate brother and they fall in love. Tragically she is already engaged and he is ineligible because he is a bastard (by birth not temperament) and sadness ensues.
If only this were a romance novel where they could work this out and live happily ever after! Oh, wait...
Now I am really going to do housework, I mean it this time.
