Royal States

In the Royal States of America, magic rules all, but life-and love-always finds a way. Latent horse empath. Dishwasher. Closet chef. Future king. When food poisoning sweeps through Dallas, Patrick Laycal doesn't expect a princess to show up at his door asking for his help. Her one, simple request dumps him in the middle of a Royal mess-one that could cost him far more than just his life.

Six years following his marriage to Jessica and their coronation, Pat learns just how far greedy politicians will go to safeguard their wealth, status, and power. After being taken from his family and home, Pat decides he'll just rescue himself and ruin their plans while he's at it. Texas is about to learn their king is far more than the horse loving, boot scraping of a chef they believe he is.

Born without magic, Mackenzie Little has few prospects. In a futile attempt to break her out of the null caste, her mother ropes her into participating in a charity auction, where anything can be bought with enough money. She never expected her ex-boss would buy her company, but for one day, she lives a fairy tale. Nine months later, despite their precautions, Mackenzie's little miracle is born. Armed with Texas pride and New York viciousness, Mackenzie must fight through hell or high water to protect her family of two from a society obsessed with the magic they lack.

At the Texas Charity Auction, money can buy anything, and Summer Cassidy is under orders to take advantage of the opportunity. While she believes the marital collar once worn by an Aztec queen belongs in a museum, it's up to her to sell the priceless treasure to one of the elite in attendance. Meeting Bachelor #103, a man who finds her descriptions of human sacrifice charming rather than appalling, hadn't been part of her plans. Buying his company for a quarter hadn't been part of her plans, either. One coffee date, a dinner, and a curse later, Summer's catapulted across the Royal States on an adventure that will forever change her life, alter the course of an entire kingdom, and give her a chance to earn a love capable of defying even death.

In the Royal States of America, magic rules all, but life-and love-always finds a way. Once upon a time, Adam had been betrothed to North Dakota's heir, and she'd been his everything, his reason for living. Failing to develop his parents' talents, he's stripped of his rank and shipped to a remote corner of the kingdom to live out the rest of his life as a shamed outcast. Defying the realities of his new caste and hiding his love for the one woman he can't have, Adam turns to the stock markets, ghosting through the financial world in search of purpose. Trouble comes calling when his beloved's little brother shows up on his doorstep. Adam's first mistake is inviting in the royal runaway. His second is listening to the child's plight, learning of New York's plan to crash North Dakota's stock market and incite rebellion. Unless Adam does something to stop the rival kingdom, his former betrothed will become the property of another man. Unwilling to see her reduced to a trophy bride and unable let her go without a fight, Adam pits his love and fortunes against the influence and power of kings. Should Adam falter, North Dakota will lose more than a princess: it will fall to civil war.

Like the other men in Prince Kelvin's line, only the love of another can free him from his family's curse, but it's hard finding the perfect woman able to love him despite all his flaws-and his tendency to transform into a white turkey during the spring. If he wants to survive and reclaim his humanity, he must find someone who would turn the world upside down for him, not because of fame, wealth, or power, but because he has earned her trust and love. When he develops an unhealthy case of infatuation for the huntress wanting him as her next trophy, his curse may be his salvation, if he can convince the wild woman of the woods to see him for who he is rather than the beast he has become.
