It was only supposed to be for a few days.
When Mr. Tall, Dark, and Sexy asks me to play tour guide to him and his friends for their bachelor getaway weekend, I’m helpless to resist. Then again, I’ve always been a sucker for an accent, piercing blue eyes, and a panty-melting grin.
Luke and I shared an immediate attraction. From the moment our eyes met, I was a goner. I would have done practically anything for a little more time with him.
Even wanting to be his three-day vacation fling.
Reckless? Maybe. Do I regret it? Not a chance – even if I can’t get him out of my head.
When a wedding invitation shows up at my door, it takes all of half a second to make up my mind to see the man I can’t stop thinking about.
Only I may be in over my head.
Royally.
How did my life spin this out of control?
What was meant to be the trip of a lifetime has devolved into utter heartbreak.
The man I thought I was falling in love with believes the worst of me, thanks in part to his scheming mother—the evil queen.
It seems as though her sole mission is to tear us apart, and she’s using every dirty trick in the book.
Lies, deceit, subterfuge…this isn’t what I signed up for. I don’t care about the title or the prestige.
All I want is Luke.
How fitting that another lie is what I’m told will save us. My prince says he has a plan in place. To be patient. To wait.
But I’m not sure my heart can take much more.
Luke sure does love his Angel…

Angel,
To celebrate our first Valentine’s Day together, I wanted to do something unique and whimsical, sweep you off your feet to give you the moon and stars. Give you a glimmer of what you’ve given me. As a royal prince, I could have the world at your feet if you so choose.
But that’s not who you are. You don’t need fancy trips, or lavish gifts rained upon you to show affection. You’re my sweet American girl with no frills or fears, ready to fight for what she wants—even if it means taking on the entire Lecara monarchy. Your strength and gumption, your endless generosity while putting the needs of others before yours, don’t even scratch the surface of why I love you. It’s also the reason why I know you will be the perfect Princess and eventual Queen by my side.
You’ve given up your entire life for us, leaving behind the city and country you grew up in because you knew we were more than a fling. And for that, I will be eternally grateful.
You told me right away what it was you needed, and to this day, you still have it.
Me.
So tonight, your wish is my command. I will be your humble servant, making sure your every need is fulfilled until you are more than satisfied.
With all my love and affection,
Your beloved Luke
Reading is a passion of mine. My love for the written word was rekindled a few years ago, and it’s been a blessing to discover everything that is out there. I love a good romantic book, one filled with swoon-worthy heroes and the women who drive them crazy. There aren’t too many genres I won’t read (sorry horror and scary stories, you still give me nightmares). As long as it drags me into the world to live alongside the characters, I want it!
I’ve been married since December 2000 to my best friend. Yes we were young, yes people thought I was crazy, but when you know, you know. We had one of those insta-love relationships where we fell hard and never looked back. We have 4 beautiful daughters who drive us a little batty but we still love them!
Ever since I was little, I dabbled in writing, starting with Fanfic of Sweet Valley High (Yes, Jessica and Elizabeth needed some new adventures). In Seventh Grade my teacher submitted a poem I wrote to a national contest and was published in an anthology. I was afraid to turn it in because I never thought I had a chance and yet, it was picked. Writing stories had always been an escape of mine, something to lose myself into or rewrite a bad experience I had to give it a better outcome. There’s a little bit of me put into my books so I’m always emotionally attached to them.
