I expected a quiet arrangement through royal channels, instead I got a palace full of women vying for my hand. And how do they “win” this barbaric game set up by my crafty mother? By figuring out how to save the kingdom’s faltering economy through a series of challenges. This undignified circus is beneath a man of my stature! Proof being that a saucy, ill-mannered woman wearing body-hugging clothes is in the lead. I could never love someone like that, let alone marry her. Anna The plan sounded simple. I pose as my friend, pick up her inheritance, and return with the cash to keep her out of jail. (Apparently, being a princess in hiding is no excuse for identity theft.) So, yeah, I’m not exactly royal. I’m an orphan, a self-made woman, and proud of it. Suddenly I’m in a battle royale with a bunch of crazy competitive women for “riches beyond our dreams.” I’m in a time crunch, which means I need to win this competition fast. Only, that means winning over the judge; the smoldering hot grim-faced Gabriel. And now I find myself wanting to compete for more than just the money. But could a royal prince ever fall for a commoner like me?

Alice First thing you should know about me—I’m on my honeymoon on Villroy Island without my groom, which was a no brainer given how my ex-fiancé decided to “accidentally” fall in love with my best friend. I don’t want to talk about it. Second thing: I’m a romance author on a generously extended deadline, and I’ve sworn to use this time away productively. So far my editor has hated all of my ideas featuring the crushing of men.

I don’t want to talk about it. Second thing: I’m a romance author on a generously extended deadline, and I’ve sworn to use this time away productively. So far my editor has hated all of my ideas featuring the crushing of men. Romance is dead within my blackened heart. I’m about to admit defeat when a prince with an image problem falls into my lap. And for some crazy reason, it’s decided that me posing as his fiancée would be a good idea. The last thing I want is to actually be committed to someone, but a fake engagement may make this next book write itself. Lucas I enjoy being the world’s most eligible royal bachelor (the internet voted and I won), but that’s not all I am. I want to contribute to the kingdom, be part of the legacy. I should be the CEO of our new business venture, but my oldest brother, Gabriel, the king, blocks me at every turn, convinced I’m too flighty. So when Gabriel’s wife, Anna, the unconventional queen offers me a chance to prove myself with the bankers, and the only catch is bringing along a fake fiancée, I reluctantly agree. The ends justify the means, and Alice needs the fake engagement to inspire her story. I never expected to fall. Yet here I am, hell bent on convincing a woman afraid to get involved that she belongs with me.

Adrian I’m a card shark, so taking the lead on the new casino on Villroy is a natural fit. I’m personally invested, and I’m proud to run the place. Except, after a month in operation, it’s been more of a headache than I ever imagined. I need a right-hand man (or woman) to take some of the pressure off. And then my twin, Silvia, gets in touch about Sara, a girl we were close to as children when her family summered in Villroy.

I need a right-hand man (or woman) to take some of the pressure off. And then my twin, Silvia, gets in touch about Sara, a girl we were close to as children when her family summered in Villroy. Sara was like me—loving poker and loving to win. We upped each other’s games. At twelve, we swore a solemn vow to marry when we were twenty-five. Silly, I know. We’re now twenty-five. But that’s not why Silvia contacted me. Sara is in trouble, running a poker game in New York and upping the pot high enough to attract the wealthy underbelly of the city. Of course, I ride to the rescue! I don’t want her to put herself in danger, and she’s the perfect person to join me at Villroy’s casino. Except the stubborn woman won’t stop her game, won’t leave New York, won’t leave her sister who she’s raised and who goes to college there. So I linger. They need me back home, but she needs me too. And the longer I linger, the deeper I fall. I can’t give up my casino, yet I can’t give her up either. But can I convince her to give us the chance our younger selves knew we deserved?
