Part of American Royals, book 2
First published 2020
Beatrice has claimed the throne as America's first queen, but the crown weighs heavier than she imagined. Every gain in power brought unexpected losses that now haunt her reign. Her sister Samantha embraces her reputation as the party princess while searching for romance. Nina Gonzalez wants nothing more than to escape the palace and avoid Prince Jefferson entirely. Meanwhile, Daphne Deighton's elaborate scheme to marry Prince Jefferson faces a dangerous obstacle. A secret lurks that could destroy everything Daphne has carefully constructed. As the nation adjusts to having a queen instead of a king, these four women navigate the treacherous waters of American royalty. Power intoxicates like first love, leaving some breathless while others fight to survive. The new reign brings fresh challenges that will test every alliance and ambition.
