Carter Mason's life was turned upside down when her father, Major Mason of the Princess Protection Program--a fictitious organization that rescues princesses--brings Princess Rosalinda to their Louisiana home. Now, Carter and Rosalinda are both back to their normal lives in Louisiana and Costa Luna. They stay in touch via text, email, phone, and even the occasional visit. Carter tells her friend all about her father's other completed PPP missions, still able to have a laugh over some princesses' antics. Sometimes Carter and her father joke about her going on missions with him--after her plan to save Rosie, her father knows she could someday follow in his footsteps--but he makes it clear that she's not to do anything like that ever again. Carter doesn't seek out trouble, especially when it comes to princesses--it just happens to find her.
