Prince Alexander, heir to Valleria’s throne, has spent years preparing to be king. Now, as an unexpected death shifts the monarchy, it’s time for him to assume the throne. But is he ready? Add in a heavily scrutinized royal tour to America with credible threats against him and his wife, Rebecca, the Royal Council doing everything they can to prevent his ascension to king, and a coronation becoming more complicated by the minute, and Alex wonders if he really is ready to rule. And, as a health issue with Rebecca comes to a head, Alex is also forced to confront his ability to balance the life of a husband and king. Come visit Valleria once again to see who takes the crown, who lives (and who doesn’t), and spend more time with Alex and Rebecca, along with all the royals. This novel features a married royal couple balancing politics and personal challenges, a royal family that loves one another (even while they annoy each other), and a look behind fictional palace walls. This is a standalone novel in the series with an HEA and no cliffhanger, and features sexy scenes and swearing. Please look inside the book for full CW. * * * Meet the Royals of Valleria, a country as old as the fall of the Roman Empire. The reigning king and patriarch rules with his beloved queen. Nine children, now grown, ranging from the eldest twins to the youngest son, watch over the country they love and care for. Bound by honour, duty, and loyalty, follow their lives as they fall in love, face tragedies, and triumph against the evils facing them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not all royal secrets were meant to be revealed… Captain Ethan Santoro, youngest son of Valleria’s king and doctor in the Navy, has kept a lot of secrets. There was the time he officiated his brother’s elopement—his mother still hasn’t forgiven him for that—and all the many secrets he’s kept for his royal siblings. Keeping secrets, however, has its price. He just didn’t think that price would be blood, namely his. All to protect the one woman he should stay away from, Anda Salamanca. The only woman who knows his secret, which, if revealed, could divide his royal family. But he’s not the only one with a secret…he knows hers, too, and he’ll risk death to keep it. She might never survive the royal spotlight if they got together again (neither will he at this rate). She might never survive his family (especially if they learn the truth). She might never fall in love with him again either…Or will she? If they can both survive the onslaught, they might just have a chance, as long as no one gets caught in the crossfire. This time, they’re not only fighting for their lives, but for each other. It’s safe to say this isn’t your typical prince and a movie star romance. No, nothing about them is typical at all. Yet, as he’ll soon discover, she’s worth the threat of death and of danger. Because she’s worth everything. This novel features a second chance romance between an actress and a prince (set in past flashbacks and the present), a royal family that loves one another (even while they annoy each other), and a look behind fictional palace walls. This is a standalone novel in the series with no cliffhanger, and features sexy scenes and swearing. Emotional trigger warning: potential assault. * * * Meet the Royals of Valleria, a country as old as the fall of the Roman Empire. The reigning king and patriarch rules with his beloved queen.

Widowed one year after a disastrous marriage, English Lady Grace still carries the visible and hidden scars of her past, yet she’s finally ready for a visit from one of her oldest friends, Valleria’s Princess Catharine. What she didn’t expect was a visit from her brother, Prince Marcello. When she begins to feel the first stirrings of love within her, can she overcome the horrors of her past to make a future with him? A prince protecting his country, torn from the woman he loves for a dangerous mission. Prince Marcello, head of Valleria's national security and defense, is still dealing with the fallout from security breaches under his watch. After long days and nights of political maneuvering in London to reclaim Valleria’s and his reputation, he takes a needed break by joining his sister on a visit to her friend, Lady Grace. What he thought would be a relaxing week becomes anything but when he begins to fall in love with her. In the midst of blooming love, Marcello is asked to lead a secret, dangerous mission to thwart an international threat. Marcello knows he must go, both for his country’s honour and for his own.

Catch up with the Vallerian royal family as they celebrate the holidays together … and apart. The day of the Holiday Ball and her engagement party has finally dawned for current commoner and future princess Rebecca, love of Alexander, her fiancé and heir to the throne. However, when a royal scandal breaks just days before the ball and implicates Alex, will they recover in time to navigate through the ball and their first Christmas together? After years of difficult holidays, English Lady Grace is ready to make some new memories with her prince, Marcello, but can she give him the one thing he wants most? Charlotte, head baker for the Vallerian Royal Palace, has been working at a frantic pace leading up to the holidays all while recovering from a gunshot wound. When Nate decides to spirit Charlie away, will his surprise rise to the occasion, or fall flat as a bad cake? Pregnant Princess Arianna has made a home in the small country of Brazenbourg with its prince, Finn, but her first holiday away from Valleria proves to be harder than expected.

Princess Catharine, second in line to Valleria’s throne after her elder twin brother, has been issued a queen’s edict: become engaged by the time of her elder brother’s wedding, or else they’ll choose someone for her. Cat selects Philip, a perfect pawn to fake a romance for her parents. Or, he would be perfect, if she wasn’t falling for her bodyguard and Royal Protection agent, Edward ‘Bash’ Bashiera. A bodyguard challenging her royal duty for love. Eddie’s venerable veneer hides a man devoted to his family and a past he’d rather forget. He’s always kept things professional, until his princess is the one caught in the crossfire. Once she’s in his arms, it’s hard for him to let go. The future of the monarchy is in her hands. When circumstances change, and suddenly Catharine must ensure the family legacy, can she put aside a growing love for duty? And, when a terrible deception comes to light, will Edward be able to protect Cat when she needs it most?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A playboy prince ready for love. Prince Nathaniel, Valleria’s newest Minister of Finance and Treasury, likes it when numbers add up. What doesn't add up is his attraction to Charlotte, a woman whose kisses are as sweet and addictive as her desserts and whose tough exterior hides a painful past. It's true he's been dubbed the ‘Playboy Prince’, but Nate may be ready to settle down – if only he can convince Charlie to take a chance on him. A hardened woman, softening her heart. Charlotte Wyler has worked long and hard to overcome a tough American upbringing to become one of the top chefs at Valleria’s royal palace. Charlie’s used to the heat of the kitchen, but not of Nate's lips against hers. Even though his easygoing attitude and irresistible smile unnerve her, she doesn’t want to be another notch in his – or anyone’s – bedpost. A dangerous conspiracy, putting them both in the line of fire. Just when Nate and Charlie begin connecting on a deeper level, scandal ensues. Discrepancies in the royal coffers means Valleria is deeply in debt, placing both Charlie's and Nate’s jobs in jeopardy. As Nate prepares to deliver a controversial austerity budget to the Royal Council, both he and Charlie also begin to unravel deception near the highest levels of government. When Charlie becomes a pawn in a dangerous game, will Nate be able to save both her and Valleria from destruction? This novel features a love between a stubborn and supremely talented American chef who loves vibrators and a sexy and smart European prince, a royal family that loves one another (even while they annoy each other), and a look behind fictional palace walls. This is a standalone book in the series with no cliffhanger, and features sexy scenes and swearing.

Proper Princess Arianna vowed to stay on the straight and narrow after a disastrous decision years ago embarrassed both her and her royal family. When a marriage of convenience is proposed between her and Brazenbourg’s ruling prince, she jumps at the chance for redemption. She doesn’t believe in love anymore – at least she thought she didn’t until she met her fiancé’s brother, Prince Finn. Drawn to another man she shouldn’t want. As second in line to the throne of Brazenbourg, bad boy Prince Finn cares little for his arrogant older brother Henry, but does care deeply for Brazenbourg. When Henry becomes engaged to Arianna for convenience and not love, he can’t help but be intrigued by a woman who would give up her future for her country. When the passionate nature she hides breaks through her prim exterior, Finn realizes he wants her and not just in bed. He knows his brother may make a more proper match, but can he convince her, and himself, to take a chance on each other despite the international fallout? For a love that won’t be denied. When Henry’s true motives are revealed and Arianna is placed in danger’s path, can Finn act quickly enough to help her? Or will Arianna need to save herself?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queen Victoria, who also bore the title of Empress of India, had a real and abiding interest in the British Empire, but other European monarchs also ruled over possessions 'beyond the seas'. This collection of original essays explores the connections between monarchy and colonialism, from the old regime empires down to the Commonwealth of today. With case studies drawn from Britain, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Italy, the chapters analyse constitutional questions about the role of the crown in overseas empires, the pomp and pageantry of the monarchy as it transferred to the colonies, and the fate of indigenous sovereigns under European colonial control. The volume, with chapters on North America, Asia, Africa and Australasia, provides new perspectives on colonial history, the governance of empire, and the transnational history of monarchies in modern Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of one of medieval England’s most powerful families, from its origins in Normandy to its demise during the reign of Edward III. In the reign of Edward I, when asked Quo Warranto—by what warrant he held his lands—John de Warenne, the 6th earl of Surrey, is said to have drawn a rusty sword, claiming “My ancestors came with William the Bastard, and conquered their lands with the sword, and I will defend them with the sword against anyone wishing to seize them.” John’s ancestor, William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, fought for William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He was rewarded with enough land to make him one of the richest men of all time. In his search for a royal bride, the 2nd earl kidnapped the wife of a fellow baron. The 3rd earl died on crusade, fighting for his royal cousin, Louis VII of France . . . For three centuries, the Warennes were at the heart of English politics at the highest level, until one unhappy marriage brought an end to the dynasty. The family moved in the highest circles, married into royalty and were not immune to scandal. Defenders of the Norman Crown tells the fascinating story of the Warenne dynasty, of the successes and failures of one of the most powerful families in England, from its origins in Normandy, through the Conquest, Magna Carta, the wars and marriages that led to its ultimate demise in the reign of Edward III. Praise for Defenders of the Norman Crown “In this book Sharon not only provides the reader with a deep insight into the whole Warenne dynasty, but also opens a window into a turbulent period of English history.” —Aspects of History “A riveting insight into the rise and fall of the most influential family you’d otherwise never have heard of. . . . 5/5.” —HistoriaMag “Sharon Bennett Connolly’s detailed, meticulous research brings together a wealth of sources to give the reader a fascinating view of one of the powerful families on which the Crown depended for centuries. Politics and power, Marriages and mistresses, Lordship and land, Defenders of the Norman Crown has it all. [Connolly] has written a very fine book indeed—I loved it.” —Elizabeth Chadwick, bestselling author of historical fiction “A vivid portrayal of a powerful aristocratic family. . . . A highly readable and well-illustrated survey.” —Michael Jones, author of The Black Prince
