Compilation 1: San Majoria
Heart of a Prince
Canadian Jordan Haines is on vacation in the Caribbean. After the summer he's had, a couple months of fun in the sun is just what the doctor ordered. What he didn't count on was meeting a beautiful woman on a private beach - or falling hard.
Crown Princess Astrid of San Majoria seems to lead a charmed life. Just like everyone, there's tragedy in her past, but she lives in a palace, has aides to do everything - and paparazzi hounding her private moments. Her sanctuary on her family's beach is broken one day when a tired windsurfer takes refuge in her cove - and works his way into her heart.
But it's just a summer fling, isn't it?
After all, Jordan will be returning to Canada before long, won't he?
When pictures of the two of them, and what looks like an engagement ring, appear in the tabloids, they have to deal with fallout - and the beginnings of a real relationship. Secrets kept become hearts broken as they try to discover if Jordan really has the heart of a prince.
The Inadvertent Princess
Anabelle Gregorson is happy. More or less. She works for her best friend at a yarn shop in Akushla, is raising her little sister after the death of their parents, and just met the most handsome man she ever set eyes on. And he seems to like her too.
Prince Kensington of San Majoria never expected his time in Eyjania to result in love. But from the moment he met little Gracie, and her big sister, he was smitten, even if she doesn't know who he is. He kind of likes having someone enjoy spending time with him and not his titles.
When Anabelle tells him she's going to have to marry King Benjamin of Eyjania, Kensington can't let it happen. They run off to elope, but the ceremony must occur before he has a chance to tell her the whole truth.
What will Anabelle think - and will their relationship survive the royal revelation? Even if it does, will angering the king and infuriating her powerful grandfather cause no end of trouble for the Inadvertent Princess?
A Royally Beautiful Mess
Life is messy.
Even more so when you have to deal with two royal families and the expectations of two countries.
And a 200-year-old treaty
Add a scheming royal uncle and one really big surprise, and things just might get a little out of hand.
Princess Esther of San Majoria has always done what's expected of her. Until she met a handsome stranger at an exclusive resort. Weeks later, she's discovered his true identity and is dealing with the fallout of their time together. With her father's help, she's going to make things right, then head straight to Serenity Landing University to finish her schooling.
Prince Darius of Eyjania isn't sure what being called into a meeting with his older brother, King Benjamin, and his uncle could mean, but he's sure it's nothing good. His suspicion proves correct when the King of San Majoria confronts him about his secret vacation a few weeks earlier. When his uncle tries to threaten King Edward, the other king promises to invoke the Treaty of 1702 - whatever that is.
To appease their most important trading partner, and because it's the right thing to do, Darius finds himself living in the States, married to the most beautiful girl he's ever known - and she wants absolutely nothing to do with him.
With secrets, international treaties, an uncle who will stop at almost nothing to get his way, and a potential exile, Darius and Esther have to learn that even in the mess, it can be beautiful. It can be A Royally Beautiful Mess.
