The Montevor Royals Saga
The Boss Prince
|
The week I got fired, I landed a government job in Paris.
Go, Lucie! The bad news? My boss, Max Delaroche, looks like a remastered Greek god, as dazzling as the alarm in my head. Whoop, whoop, whoop! Run while you can! But the man intrigues me. Wildly charismatic, he has no office savvy. He skips important staff meetings because they bore him to death. He won’t even say where he’s from! Instead, he keeps staring at me like he’s on a treasure hunt and I have the map. Who is this guy, and what exactly does he do here? Could he be an undercover cop investigating government agencies? Haha. I’m très hilarious. If a cop can afford bespoke suits, then I’m a princess. You shall call me Your Royal Highness, Lucie la Magnifique! |
The Surprise Prince
|
Sasha
If my sleeve accidentally rides up, people stare. “Shark attack,” I usually say. Sometimes I go with, “Incubating an alien worm for science.” The less sensational truth is I get dialysis because my kidneys are kaput. But admitting that sad truth tends to reduce an ambitious, fit, plucky journalist to “you poor sick girl.” That is so not who I am! Especially not at the Cannes Film Festival. I’m here to schmooze, interview, and hunt scoops for my magazine. Above all, I’m here to pursue a major story that will be my breakthrough. The key to the bombshell is a local man called Arnaud. The cocky studmuffin—bless his heart—thinks he can charm me out of my panties. Shall I tell him he’ll fail at the sleeves? Not yet. Not before I find out how much he knows. And how much I can get him to blab. Arnaud Being a plastic surgeon offers many perks. Being a good-looking and single plastic surgeon is a nonstop perkfest. Inexplicably, all the pretty perks think they’re the one to awaken my dormant heart. All but Sasha, that is. Sasha is an unlikely cocktail of soft curves, sharp wit, and hard edges wrapped in Kevlar thicker than mine. I wonder how she became like that… Did a cruel fiancé jilt her at the altar? Or did her dad abandon her as callously as mine did me? Anyway, here comes the hilarious part: A half brother I just met wants me to work with Sasha to solve a 200-year-old mystery and save his—and my—secret realm. He’s nuts, of course. But hey, this could be a fun ride! |
The Beast Prince
|
Elise
I never had it easy despite my pretty face. But at least I had options. Now, I’m left with two: run or become a gangster’s pet. As I brace myself for the worst, a brawny man named Theo shows up on my doorstep. His left eye—blue and piercing—is the only intact spot on his disfigured face. Theo says he’ll help me if I find an old key for him. We strike a deal. Beggars and choosers, you know. Real-life damsels in distress don't get to pick the cutest heroes. The weird part?Theo turns me on more than any man ever has… Theo What good is it being a crown prince, when you’re cut off from your bodyguards and trapped in a cabin? The situation is dire. There’s no cell phone reception. My enemies are closing in. All hope to save my country is fading away. To add insult to injury, I’m stranded here with a woman—a beauty, no doubt. But she’s foreign, and her brother is a jailed lowlife. She’s too far beneath me for her charms to work. Not that she’s trying, mind you. And yet, I crave her touch so badly I’d trade the crown for it! |
A Royal for Christmas
|
I’m Camille — the only pauper in Mount Evor.
But that’s not why I’m on the no-fly list. Six years ago, the principality’s royal palace went up in flames. Several people died. My sister Jeannette, who worked there, disappeared. The inquiry blamed her for the arson. Since then, I’ve been an outcast—compromised and harassed—but determined to clear my sister’s name. Four weeks before Christmas, the hunky Louis de Valois, Duke of Arrago, raps on my window. What if he has news about Jeannette’s case? I invite him in. He glances at his watch and declines my invitation. And then he asks me to marry him. |
The Grumpy Count
|
Margot Nolan here—a feminist in a tight spot.
I’m currently working out of a London mansion, property of Count Jonas d’Alenq. He took in my theater company after the previous host dropped us a week before the start of our show, “The Immersive Pride and Prejudice Experience.” But, of course, there’s a catch. Beneath his wealth, good looks and love for his young son, Jonas d’Alenq is an ogre with antiquated ideas. An ogre who asked to play a part in the show. Not just any part, but that of Mr. Darcy! His lordship is an amateur actor, you see. To show her gratitude, our director said yes. Big mistake! I play Caroline who fawns on Mr. Darcy. Flattering a macho man—whether he’s Darcy or d’Alenq—is no fun at all. Even more annoying is that despite our clashes, my silly heart flutters every time that macho smiles. And my unreasonable body melts when he kisses me… On the verge of betraying everything I stand for, I realize he has a secret agenda. What is our brooding host and his furtive visitors after? Is Jonas a spy? An upper crust criminal? Whatever he is, I’ll derail his plans. And he’ll never have his wicked way with me again! Well, maybe just one last time… |
A Knight on the Rocks
|
When the royal palace was burning, I rushed in.
That’s how I became Sir Darrel Vlovsky, knighted for my heroics. Alas, a helicopter crash over the French Alps ended my bodyguard career at thirty-eight. I pray the others survived and completed the mission! It’s killing me that I can’t help them… can’t serve my country anymore… A psycho couple from a nearby village rescued me and locked me in their basement. My broken body is healing. But I loathe my captors’ grotesque secret cult. My only ray of light is their daughter Stella. She sneaks in when she can—chaste, troubled, engaged to some brat. Forbidden. Irresistible. In my old life, her tender age of twenty-two would’ve been a nonstarter. But here… All I know is that her parents will never let me leave. I, Sir Darrel Vlovsky, am a death row inmate. And Stella is my last wish. |

An Autumn in Paris
|
Because of Audrey Hepburn, I have foolishly…
a) bought into the whole “Paris is always a good idea” thing without any offscreen evidence, b) uprooted my son and left my bittersweet memories behind, c) allowed Thomas—the handsome, caring, way-out-of-my-league vet—to disrupt the humdrum life I had self-prescribed for my Broken Heart Syndrome. Behind his easy smile and swoon-worthy pecs, Thomas conceals an open wound. No matter how hot his kisses or how genuine his affection, he’s still reeling. He can’t move on. And I can’t risk falling for him. I have a child to raise—a preteen boy who needs his mom to be all there. But as autumn strips the trees of their leaves, falling for Thomas is exactly what I do. Throwing caution to the wind, I dare to hope for a future with him… …until the past comes knocking. Can we handle it or will it break us forever? |
