American Royals Series

Inheritance: A Prequel Novella

Princess Beatrice realizes what’s expected of her as heir apparent—and it is not riding in cars, alone, with her Revere Guard. But what the Crown doesn’t know won’t hurt it…right?

Princess Samantha is already bored of her own graduation party. She swears she isn’t looking for trouble, but when the king and queen are away, the spare will play….

Nina never dreamed of acting on her feelings for Prince Jefferson. Tonight, though, anything seems possible: even a prince and a commoner.

Meanwhile, Daphne is hiding more than one secret beneath her perfect exterior. A royal party might just be the window of opportunity she needs—until everything comes crashing down.

American Royals

General George Washington was given the crown after triumphing in the Revolutionary War.

More than two centuries later, his descendants are still at the helm of power.

Princess Beatrice is on the brink of serving as the nation’s maiden queen regnant, a role she has been preparing for her whole life—except she’s starting to feel suffocated.

Princess Samantha is the spare, which means she never gets any attention except when she’s flouting the rules. She seldom cares about anything other than the forbidden boy.

Prince Jefferson, Samantha’s twin, is third in line to the throne.

America loves the incredibly handsome prince, but not as much as the two girls battling to win his heart.

Reign

A queen's life hangs in the balance, and her siblings’ decisions—about what to do, and most of all, who to love—could change the course of history. Romance. Duty. Power...only one can triumph...

America's royal family is in shambles. Queen Beatrice is in a coma and Princess Samantha has gone missing—from the look of things, she ran away with her boyfriend, Lord Marshall Davis. Which means that Prince Jefferson is currently on the throne. For some in America, it's exactly what they wanted: a King ruling the country. And for Daphne Deighton, who has tricked Jefferson into dating her again, it's the ultimate dream come true.

Surely this is all just temporary. Won’t Beatrice wake up and reclaim her rightful place? Samantha can't really be gone…can she? And Prince Jefferson will never truly be over his childhood crush, Nina Gonzalez. Right?

For the Washington family, the stakes are higher than ever. Love might save the throne….if secrets don’t destroy everything first.
