Blue Royal – An Affair of the Heart Julian Mountbatten is nobility personified—stoic, proper, and secretly longing for the kind of love that would make his family’s monocles pop. Enter Domenico DeLuca, the U.S. Secretary of State’s charming, witty, and sporting a grin that could melt even the iciest of British reserve. At St. Reginald’s, where there is more to tradition than just a Latin proverb, their “opposites attract” dynamic sparks when a class project forces them together. Snarky banter leads to stolen glances, which lead to, well, let’s just say the temperature on campus rises. But when Domenico’s very personal sketches of Julian go viral, the scandal threatens their families, their futures, and their fragile new love. Now, Julian and Domenico must will they risk everything for love—or will they let centuries of expectation win? Either way, tradition just got a lot more interesting.
