Elizabeth just learned she’s a princess, and she’s promised to a prince. Problem is, the prince is my younger brother. But this little princess is mine, and mine alone. Screw tradition. So when I catch her trying to escape, I take matters into my own hands. I bring her to the dungeon for punishment, and a night she’ll never forget. Finding out I’m actually a princess was a shock. Finding out there’s a prince who has been waiting to marry me when I turned eighteen? Yeah, that was a shock too. I’m not exactly princess material, even if I do have the evil sisters and neglectful parents thing going on. My life was supposed to be boring, cruel, and most of all, uneventful. But all that changed. I’m taken to a city that shouldn’t exist—a kingdom that shouldn’t exist. It’s a whole new world full of possibility, where teams of servants cater to my every need and my room is at the top-most tower of a palace. It should be perfect. It should be a dream come true. But my husband-to-be would give a glacier the chills, and one look makes me want to get as far away from this man and this place as I can. I’m captured during my escape by the most breathtaking man I’ve ever seen. He says he is going to make sure I’m “punished” for trying to escape. I never knew punishment could be so… intimate, or so enjoyable. And I definitely didn’t expect to learn Mr. Tall Dark and Gorgeous is actually a prince too—my husband-to-be’s older brother, in fact. **This is a full-length, standalone novel. No cheating or cliffhangers, and as always, Happily Ever After guaranteed. **

**My first ever traditionally published book, Anyone But Rich, is going live September 3rd. Don't miss it!!!** I'm a USA Today Bestselling Author and have written nearly a dozen top 50 amazon bestsellers, including four books that have hit the top 10! Despite all that, I'm still a nervous wreck before I release every new book and I still feel like I have so much more to learn about writing and publishing than I can even wrap my head around. I'm just beyond honored and humbled that so many readers have embraced me and found enjoyment in my words, because I can't think of any better opportunity than this. When I'm not writing and stressing about what I'm going to write, I'm trying to wrangle my two little girls who are 2 and a half and 1 and a half. When I'm not wrangling them, I'm trying to keep my husband in line. Writing and helping run the family aren't easy, but I'd never trade it for anything!
