Her Secret Royal Dilemma - Chantelle Shaw

A passion impossible to hide... a scandal waiting to be exposed!

Moments from drowning, Prince Eirik is saved by mysterious Arielle Tremain. Royal duty dictates that he ignores their instant attraction. But he can offer the mesmerising marine conservationist her dream job — in his kingdom...

After a lifetime spent paying for her father’s crimes, Arielle can’t believe Eirik’s generosity. Or that a future monarch desires her. So, when he seeks her out, Arielle faces the ultimate dilemma: indulge this rare irresistible connection, knowing her past could taint Eirik’s future...or walk away from the only man who really sees her?

The Wedding Night They Never Had - Jackie Ashenden

He must take a bride... but he already has a wife!

Charming Prince Cassius wed young Inara Donati to save her from a dreadful forced betrothal. But their arrangement was only on paper. Five years later, after tragedy makes him king, Cassius needs heirs and for that he requires a real queen!

Bookish Inara isn’t made for court life. But when Cassius demands a divorce, even she’s surprised by the strength of her refusal and unfulfilled desire. Yet to find the courage to ask him for a true marriage, Inara must first believe she can be the queen he needs...

Stranded with His Runaway Bride - Julieanne Howells

She ran from their wedding... but can’t escape their attraction!

Prince Leo’s cold upbringing ensured love was out of his reach. He doesn’t think twice about agreeing to the political union his family has always coveted. Until Princess Violetta disappears on their wedding day...

Surrendering her power to a man is unacceptable to Violetta — even if that man sets her alight with a single glance! But when Leo tracks her down and they are stranded together, he’s not the enemy she first thought...her independence is non-negotiable. Yet, a temporary alliance could be more pleasurable than Violetta ever imagined!

About the Author

Jackie writes dark, emotional stories with alpha heroes who've just got the world to their liking only to have it blown wide apart by their kick-ass heroines. She lives in Auckland, New Zealand with her husband and two kids. When she's not torturing alpha males and their gutsy heroines, she can be found drinking chocolate martinis, reading anything she can lay her hands on, wasting time on social media, or being forced to go mountain biking with her husband.
