Part of American Royals, book 0.5
First published 2022
Princess Beatrice knows the rules that bind her as America's future queen. No private car rides with her Revere Guard. No stepping outside the careful boundaries of royal protocol. But some rules beg to be broken, and what the Crown doesn't see can't damage it. Her younger sister Princess Samantha finds her own graduation celebration tedious beyond measure. She claims she's not seeking chaos, yet with their parents absent, the spare heir decides to indulge. Nina has buried her attraction to Prince Jefferson deep inside, convinced a commoner like her could never act on such impossible desires. Tonight feels different though. Tonight the usual barriers seem fragile. Daphne maintains her flawless public image while concealing multiple truths beneath the surface. This royal gathering might provide the perfect chance to advance her hidden agenda. But when secrets collide and careful plans unravel, everything the royal family has built threatens to collapse in a single evening.
