Series: Royally Kissed #1
Publication date: April 4th, 2024
Synopsis:
When a Texas gal punches a prince instead of curtsying, you know this isn't your grandmother's fairy tale.
Taking the bull by the horns is child's play compared to ruling Malvaeux. Yet here I am, a Texas girl turned princess, swapping tacos for a tiara.
Then I meet Europe's most eligible bachelor, the irritatingly handsome Prince Alexander, and accidentally deck him instead of curtsying.
Oops.
I'd feel bad if he wasn't such a self-satisfied jerk.
Now, I'm racing against a royal clock that ticks with the urgency of a preening peacock, trying not to let down my newfound country or my own wild heart. Alexander? He's a walking contradiction, with a smirk that heats my blood and eyes that tell tales of a depth I didn't expect.
Decisions aren't exactly my rodeo, but this time, my choice could cost me my new crown--or lead to a love story that rewrites my happily ever after.
Will this Texas girl rise to the royal challenge, or is this one fairytale destined to end with the slipper never found?
The Princess Diaries meets The Hating Game in this dizzyingly romantic modern royal romcom for grown-ups, where an American girl's unexpected ascent to royalty collides with a fiery romance with a hot neighboring prince. The Backup Princess is a closed-door romance with all the sizzle but without the spice, and a guaranteed happily ever after. It's Book 1 in the brand new series, Royally Kissed.

Excerpt
My mind wanders to the top of the hill, where Alex took me on the motorcycle. We opened up to one another, and I feel so much closer to him now.
So much so I almost acted on my feelings for him and kissed him. Almost.
Let's just say it was a good thing Vlad interrupted us, or I don't know what would have happened.
Okay, that's a lie. I know exactly what would have happened. Alex would have kissed me and I would have kissed him right back, all those pent-up feelings I've been carrying around for him since the day we met would have come bursting out in an explosion of want.
I sigh.
So not a good idea for a whole host of reasons, least of all the fact that he has this reputation that suggests he goes around kissing women in picturesque spots all the time.
The problem is I've grown to know something about myself when it comes to Prince Alexander of Ledonia. And it's a doozy.
I don't want to be simply the next girl in his long line.
I want to be the girl.
I know. It's crazy. I've gone from despising the man to realizing I got him wrong to now fantasizing about wanting to be with him. Not just kiss him.
Be.
With.
Him.
I want to be the one he ends up with, the one who means the most to him. The one he's with for the rest of his life. And I want him to be the one who means the most to me.
I blow out a breath.
This is not the way I saw this playing out, but here I am. I'm falling for him, this strong, loyal, loving man who is nothing like I expected.
I'm in deep. Way too deep.
