I’m a runaway princess. He’s a Hollywood heartthrob. What could possibly go wrong?
Being a princess means living by 1200+ rules—I’ve counted them all in my leather-bound journal—including Rule #124: “No climbing trees” and Rule #592: “A princess must never leave the palace without security detail.” So when I swap my tiara for a goth disguise and escape the palace for a grand adventure as “Amy,” I’m breaking every royal protocol imaginable.
Hiding from paparazzi in a costume shop, I meet a gorgeous American stranger who’s also on the run. Suddenly I’m making disastrous coffee at a pink café, sharing a lakeside mansion with “Maverick”—aka Hollywood star Ethan Roberts in disg—and developing feelings that make my heart perform gymnastics. Which was definitely not covered in my princess rule book.
Ethan’s gotten into the habit of rescuing me—from online con artists, espresso machine explosions, and even breaking Rule #124 when I climbed a tree right to the top, … and promptly got stuck. But as our friendship blooms into something wonderfully more, our carefully constructed facades begin to crack, and our new relationship hangs in the balance.
Can a runaway princess and an actor hiding from fame find their happily-ever-after, or will duty force us back to our separate spotlight lives?
In this dizzyingly romantic modern royal romcom for grown-ups, find out what happens when a Hollywood heartthrob meets a princess who wants to break all the rules… The Royal Runaway is a closed-door romance with all the sizzle but without the spice, and a guaranteed happily ever after. It’s Book 3 in the royal romance series, Royally Kissed, and can be read as a standalone.
There are 2 options for the print book – one with facial features and one without. Click on the relevant image and you’ll be taken to Amazon’s site to purchase.
Coming soon to audiobook!
