How many girls can say their first kiss was with a prince in the British royal family? I was fourteen and he was sixteen, and yes, it was magical. But that kiss didn't exactly change my life. To tell you the truth, I didn't even think about it-or Nicky Windsor-for the next ten years . . . until fate, in the guise of my grandparents, brought us back together again. Now everything has spun out of control. I'm ducking reporters and photographers when I try to leave home. My friends act as if I'm someone they don't know anymore. The whole world seems to be watching me, wanting to see some kind of modern Cinderella story. But trust me, I'm no man's princess. I'm more comfortable in tennis shoes than in a tiara, more likely to rock a bucket than a ball gown, and more liable to fall on my face than to pull off a graceful wave. The only thing that keeps me from running away and hiding is Nicky. He's all I've ever wanted in a man: hot, hunky and head-over-heels in love with me. I think I feel the same way. I think I want to be with him forever. But the idea of life with the royal family terrifies me. Even if I have found my one and only, can I handle what comes after our happy ending?

Falling in love with a prince wasn't something I planned . . . When I reconnected with the first guy I ever kissed, I never dreamed I'd end up moving to England to be closer to him. But Nicky and I are in love, and living together was the next logical step. If I thought dating royalty was a tough gig when I was living in the USA, I'm learning that it's even more challenging now that I'm in London. Every move I make, every word I say, is under the microscope. Becoming part of Nicky's family while staying true to who I am isn't easy. Nicky makes everything worthwhile. The hours when we're alone together are paradise. And if the press and the pressure are the price I have to pay for him . . . I'll choose Nicky, every single time. After all, London's just another town. Right?

Sophie Kent loves her new job as press liaison for Kyra Duncan, fiancée of Britain's Prince Nicholas. But there's one downside, and it comes in the form of a very sexy, very annoying American reporter named Garrett Smith. He's determined to make life more difficult, and so far, he's succeeding. But these two just might discover their chemistry is stronger than their combat.

The royal wedding was only the beginning of my happy ending . . . I'm now a full-fledged member of the royal family. That means all my problems are over, doesn't it? Apparently not. Even though I'm now a princess-by-marriage and a duchess-by-title, I'm still the same Kyra who's prone to putting her sneaker-clad foot into her mouth. It's a good thing Nicky loves me. Our work is thriving and our marriage is strong. Together, we can tackle any challenge. But it's not until our peaceful existence is threatened that I realize how precious it is. And they lived happily ever after . . . right?
