Reluctantly Royal — Gillian Archer

A bad-boy prince is tamed by a vivacious American beauty in this charming love story.

Officially, the world knows me as His Royal Highness Prince Lucien of Monaco, but you can call me Luc. A long time ago, I vowed never to let my heritage stand in the way of a good time. Now the party's over.

With the death of my father and my twin brother, I've lost a part of my soul -- and my freedom. My heartless older brother tells me that not only do I have to settle down, I need to marry a girl with the right bloodlines. AKA, a princess. Yeah, I'll get right on that . . . after one last trip to Vegas.

That's where I meet Hannah. Not only is she gorgeous and down-to-earth, she reminds me what it's like to live completely in the moment. Plus she has no idea who I really am. Hanging out with the locals, I feel like I can just be myself again. Besides, our chemistry is undeniable -- especially after we take things to the next level.

What happens in Vegas is special, and I don't want it to stay there. But I've been keeping a secret that will tear us apart. The last thing I expect, though? Hannah's been keeping a secret of her own . . . one that might just bring us together.
