The Unlikely Heir

2023

What happens when the Prince of Wales falls in love with the Prime Minister? My boring life working in an insurance call center in sunny California just took an unexpected turn. Thanks to my misbehaving relatives, I’ve leapt from obscurity to royalty as the new heir to the British throne. But my welcome in England is about as warm as the weather. I arrive to discover a country horrified at the thought of an American version of Prince Charming and ready to revolt against the monarchy. I vow to my grandmother, the Queen, that I will do everything possible to help her save the crown. Unfortunately, royal life isn’t easy. From bewildering traditions, traitorous friends, and malevolent swans, the only thing I’m succeeding in is providing entertainment for the tabloids and social media trolls. And then the broodingly handsome Prime Minister, Oliver Hartwell, bursts into my life. With his meteoric rise from poverty to the most powerful man in the country, Oliver understands my current plight. Innocent messages of support turn into late\-night chats—and unexpected feelings. But there’s one major problem. The royal family must remain politically neutral at all times. So how can I keep my promise to save the monarchy when I’m falling in love with the Prime Minister? A forbidden romance filled with humor and drama featuring a bumbling Prince of Wales and a stern yet dashing Prime Minister, with a love that could transform a nation.

The Unlikely Pair

2024

What happens when you find yourself stranded in the wilderness with your political enemy? Getting stranded in the freezing wilderness with my archenemy wasn’t on today’s to\-do list. But somehow, that’s where I’ve ended up. Harry Matheson, my political rival, has always been smarmy, arrogant, and entitled. It figures that even this plane crash has barely ruffled his well\-coiffed hair. It’s all fine, though, because our pilot has gone to call for help and rescue should be imminent. Fast forward a few frigid hours… Umm…maybe it’s not so fine, because it appears our pilot is part of an international terrorist group intent on kidnapping us. Now Harry and I have to flee through the wilderness—together. Unfortunately, being adept at political debates and parliamentary procedures doesn’t exactly prepare you for the basics of finding food, keeping warm, and evading the local wildlife while playing high\-stakes hide\-and\-seek with armed terrorists. The only way Harry and I have any hope of surviving is to stick together. The problem is, the line separating hate and love has begun to blur, and the last thing I need is to fall for my enemy. The Unlikely Pair is an enemies\-to\-lovers romance featuring a romp through the political wilderness where hearts, quite literally, go off the beaten path.

The Unlikely Spare

2025

What happens when the royal “spare” falls for the undercover agent pretending to be his bodyguard? Nicholas I’m the spare, the younger brother of the Prince of Wales. Ever since I was propelled up the order of succession, it feels like a microscope has been applied to every aspect of my life. After a recent security scandal, I’ve been assigned a new bodyguard. A hulking, brooding guy who won’t take his eyes off me. He’s the first person I’ve met who is completely immune to my charm. When I’m sent on a royal tour of Australia and New Zealand, it should be a standard visit to friendly Commonwealth countries—a chance to escape the British winter and bask in some Southern Hemisphere sunshine. It would be enjoyable…if only someone wasn’t trying to kill me. Eoin I’ve clawed my way from the slums of Ireland to become one of Scotland Yard’s top undercover agents. But a deep security breach within the force I love leads to an unexpected playing pretend bodyguard to a privileged prince on a tour Down Under. Something about Nicholas gets under my skin, affecting me in ways no one ever has. Still, I’m a professional. I can handle this. But as we navigate koala cuddling sessions, didgeridoo lessons, and deadly spiders in hotel rooms, I see beneath Nicholas’s princely façade. I’m supposed to uncover who’s behind the threat to our nation, not fall for the man I’m protecting. The line between duty and desire blurs with each passing day and the danger to Nicholas intensifies. How can I maintain my cover, protect Nicholas, and resist the growing attraction between us? The Unlikely Spare is a royal rom\-com featuring a party prince learning his place in the world, an undercover bodyguard with a chip on his shoulder, and a love that could topple an empire...or save it.
