A Princess In Hiding Books in Order

The A Princess in Hiding series, written under the Juliana Gray pen name, is Beatriz Williams’s take on classic fairy‑tale romance with a sly, adventurous twist. Instead of waiting in a tower for rescue, these princesses disguise themselves, take questionable jobs, and fall in love while trying not to get killed.

The premise is simple and fun: three royal sisters are marked for death in a ruthless plot against their family. To save them, a politically savvy uncle spirits each woman out of her homeland and tucks her into an unlikely corner of Victorian England. New names, modest incomes, and unglamorous positions are supposed to keep them safe until the crisis passes.

In How to Tame Your Duke, quiet, bookish Princess Emilie ends up masquerading as a male tutor in the household of the Duke of Ashland, a war‑scarred widower who has withdrawn from London society. Emilie’s job is to educate his young son; the last thing she expects is to be drawn into a masked, anonymous affair with the forbidding duke himself. The book plays with hidden identities, Beauty‑and‑the‑Beast dynamics, and the question of whether a man who has locked himself away from the world can let anyone in again.

How to Master Your Marquis follows Stefanie, the least rule‑bound of the sisters, who is forced to pose as a dowdy clerk in a barrister’s office. Her supposed dullness gives her cover, but it also puts her within tempting range of James Lambert, the Marquess of Hatherfield — outwardly impeccable, inwardly more troubled than he lets on. Their banter, escalating attraction, and dueling secrets take them from dusty files to high society, all while shadowy enemies close in.

In How to School Your Scoundrel, the eldest sister, Princess Luisa, has spent her life preparing to rule, not to hide. Disguised as a personal secretary to notorious rake Philip, Earl of Somerton, she plans to use his connections to reclaim her throne. Philip, burned by love and determined to keep his emotions out of the equation, is the last man who wants a princess upending his careful self‑control. Their partnership pulls them into political intrigue, old grudges, and a slow‑burn romance neither expected.

Across the trilogy you’ll find recurring villains, a wider conspiracy against the crown, and a supporting cast that drifts in and out of each book as the sisters’ paths cross. The tone is witty and warm rather than brooding; there’s danger, but also plenty of ballrooms, stolen kisses, and humor about the absurdity of royal life.

You can start with any of the three novels, since each centers on a different couple, but reading them in order lets you watch the larger plot unfold and see how all three princesses grow from frightened fugitives into women who claim both their birthright and the loves they choose for themselves.
