A year ago, she deferred entering a prestigious graduate program to help her parents recover from a devastating accident. Now the deferment is expiring, but her parents still need her. Worse, every time she plays her audition piece, she mangles it. Is it too late to be the musician she'd always dreamed of? Should she even try? Determined to get clarity, Emmaline accepts a friend's offer for a whirlwind European vacation. First Stop: a real live fantasy kingdom--the perfect place to sort wishes from reality. Prince Kristos Andris was a respected captain in his nation's military... Was. In the wake of the tragic death of his elder brother, he's managed to avoid his duties as the new Crown Prince of Garronia for months. But now he must accept his responsibilities and leave his troops behind. Outraged at the restrictions of his new royal position, he'll do anything for one last adventure. So when opportunity suddenly lands in his arms in the form of a dreamy-eyed American girl, he embraces it (and her) for all he's worth. What's the harm in a quick fling, after all? It won't change what he knows he must do... Only this is Garronia in the summertime, where passion has a way of ruining even the most sensible of plans. less

Rated: 4.00 of 5 starsFor beautiful, pampered Lauren Grant, the idea of love without strings is a fairy tale and a trap. Though she’s skillfully maintained her image as the carefree celebutante, for years she’s been systematically stalked by the richest—and most ruthless—golden boy of the Jet Set.

Though she’s skillfully maintained her image as the carefree celebutante, for years she’s been systematically stalked by the richest—and most ruthless—golden boy of the Jet Set. To stay one step ahead, she’s used every resource at her disposal. But now, stuck in Garronia with the whole world watching, she’s finally cornered by her nemesis, with no way out. Well, no way out but one: the stubborn, forceful, impossibly gorgeous captain of the Garronia National Security Force, Dimitri Korba. The first man she’s ever trusted… which makes him the most dangerous man of all. Dimitri Korba’s greatest duty is to keep those in his care safe. Since losing his closest friend, he's vowed that he will not fail another. Not even the haughty, foolhardy American blonde whom he can’t get out of his mind. And once Dimitri glimpses the terror Lauren hides behind her icily perfect façade, protecting her becomes his only goal. Dimitri has no idea how far his commitment will take him, however, nor how powerful his need for Lauren will flare when she’s not only in his care, but in his arms. With each stolen moment, the danger around them intensifies, burning away every doubt…until all that remains is their fierce, unexpected passion. But will that be enough to save them? less

Until she runs headlong into Stefan Mihal, the kingdom of Garronia's gorgeous, icy cool, uber-sophisticated diplomat who thinks she's the most inappropriate woman on the planet. Whatever. So when the royal family asks Nicki to team up with Mr. Icecube on an impromptu mission across Garronia's borders, she braces for a long, frigid, knockdown-dragout fight to stay on top. She's half right. Aristocratic to the core, Stefan is furious to be assigned the fiercely independent Nicki as his cover for a top-secret reconnaissance op into enemy territory. She drives him to distraction with her passion, her defiance - and her unexpected vulnerability that threatens both his focus and his sanity. Then a shocking revelation blows open the clandestine mission, endangering their lives and the future of Garronia, and Stefan risks everything to keep Nikki safe. Because no matter the cost, no matter the danger, his work won't be over until he's claimed her for his own. less

She grabs her sisters and escapes to the nobility-free coast of South Carolina, USA. Refuge isn't anything like it's supposed to be, however. The family's island vacation home now borders a singles' retreat, which Edeena's sisters embrace all too eagerly. Worse, the private protection firm Edeena hires is run by the most infuriating man she's ever met—a rough-hewn, dark-eyed, charismatic charmer named, of course, Prince. He's not a royal and he's nowhere near noble, so there’s no way he can break the family curse. And yet... Vincent “Prince" Rallis has spent his whole life justifying his name. The son of hardworking immigrant parents, he’s hustled for every dime, finally building a personal security firm with the muscle and grit to live up to its promises. He’s used to keeping his cool, but when the high-strung, high-class Edeena shuts him down despite her obvious interest, pride demands he fight for her—even if he has to track her back to her glittering court to prove his point. Only once Prince arrives in the seaside kingdom of Garronia, he finds his troubles are just beginning. Sometimes love in Garronia can be magic. And sometimes you're just Cursed. less

One thing's for sure...he's in no mood to be Charmed . less
