'There are always two sides to the story…

'A Royal Engagement was told exclusively from Princess Alyssa’s point of view…now see Will’s side of the story.

'The last few years have been hell for Will Darkly, Duke of Camphrey, Lord of Pemberton. First his mother died, then his father, leaving the estate destitute and we won’t even go into how he and his sister were betrayed by someone they trusted. Now, just when he has finally landed on his feet, his best friend, the Crown Prince Jacob St. Benét, is killed in a hunting accident.

'Jacob’s death brings Will face to face with his childhood crush, the prince’s sister, Alyssa, now the crown princess and heir apparent and she’s even more beautiful than he remembered. She’s also involved with the one man who could cause Will to commit murder.

'Grieving for his friend, trying to keep his business moving forward, and avoiding the attraction he feels for his best friend’s sister leaves him short tempered and irritable and something has to give before he loses his mind.'
