A royal death no one expects. A royal crown changes hands. A royal tour that could end in tragedy. Prince Alexander, heir to Valleria’s throne, has spent years preparing to be king. Now, as an unexpected death shifts the monarchy, it’s time for him to assume the throne. But is he ready? Add in a heavily scrutinized royal tour to America with credible threats against him and his wife, Rebecca, the Royal Council doing everything they can to prevent his ascension to king, and a coronation becoming more complicated by the minute, and Alex wonders if he really is ready to rule. And, as a health issue with Rebecca comes to a head, Alex is also forced to confront his ability to balance the life of a husband and king. Come visit Valleria once again to see who takes the crown, who lives (and who doesn’t), and spend more time with Alex and Rebecca, along with all the royals. This novel features a married royal couple balancing politics and personal challenges, a royal family that loves one another (even while they annoy each other), and a look behind fictional palace walls. This is a standalone novel in the series with an HEA and no cliffhanger. Please look inside the book for full CW. * * * Meet the Royals of Valleria, a country as old as the fall of the Roman Empire.
