Her Secret Prince
At sixteen, Dee Johnson gambled her heart on her best friend Jed Brown - and lost when he disappeared without a trace.
Ten years on, Dee's life is uprooted when Jed turns up on her doorstep, asking for her to help him. Dee has been left behind by everyone she's loved: her parents, her close friend Alexia, and a stream of lovers. She moves fast with men and suspects this is why they move on fast. Now that's Jed's back in her life, she's taking no chances. Despite the attraction ripping at her seams, she holds back, knowing she wouldn't recover from being loved and left by him a second time.
A constant traveler, Jed has only felt at home once in his life - with Dee. Now that he's found her again, he's determined to make up for lost time. He'll never leave her again. Until an unexpectedly royal revelation threatens to strip Jed of his freedom and future - including his place by Dee's side.

The happiest summer she can remember was spent there, in the arms of a handsome, tender rascal who disappeared without a goodbye when Autumn came...
As fate would have it, the Royal House of Vicenza has engaged Brenna Tinley to clear up a public relations mess. It's the opportunity of a lifetime for this small-town American girl, but there's only one problem. Her new employer, HRH Prince Ronan, aka her mystery summer lover of long ago, seems determined to pick up where they left off. Can Brenna work in the royal palace and not end up with a brand new broken heart?
