Part of Series
Princess Francesca “Frankie” Grace has no interest in scandal or pomp and circumstance. She wants to join the military and make a real difference—like her father. Unfortunately, her father and the law disagree with this plan—women are not allowed to join the Royal Marines. In an effort to appease his youngest daughter, he tasks her with a challenge to attend a ‘pre-training’ exercise hosted by retired Marines. If Frankie can pass, he’ll help her gain the family’s permission to enlist. Retired Marine Hugh Dillon owes Major Grace a debt. So, when his former liaison officer asks for a favor, he agrees to make Frankie Grace’s life hell at the ”vacation” boot camp he runs in Georgia. The last thing he expects is for the princess to more than prove her mettle and rise to the challenge. He finds himself privately rooting for her—and trying to keep his attraction in the background—but he has to make a choice. Follow orders and sink her dreams or encourage her and possibly send her into harm’s way… This novella originally appeared in the Royals and Rogues anthology.
Author
I love books. Not just a little bit, but a lot. Books were my best friends when I was growing up. Books didn’t care if I was new to a town or to a class. They were always there, my trustiest of companions. Until they turned on me and said I had to write them. I can tell you that my own personal happily ever after included writing books. I’ve always said that an HEA is a work in progress. It’s true in my marriage, my friendships, and in my career. I am constantly nurturing my muse as we dive into new tales, new tropes, new characters and more. After seventeen years back in Texas, we relocated to the Pacific Northwest in search of seasons, new experiences, and new geography. I can’t wait to discover what life (and my muse) have in store for me. Maybe writing was always my destiny and romance my fate. After all, my grandmother wasn’t a fan of picture books and used to read me her Harlequin Romance novels. Friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, friends to enemies to lovers, you name it, I love them and love to write them. I started with Earth Witches Aren’t Easy, the first in the Chance Monroe trilogy, but my characters and I have traveled a long way since I created that urban fantasy world. One of the series I hear my readers recommend the most is the Untouchable series followed in quick succession by the Vandals, and that just delights me. No lie, whenever one of my readers brings up my wolves, I do a little a fist pump. I’m active on social media, and I love hearing from readers. Feel free to tag me with a question about any of my books, or just say hi!
