Book 2 of the Sweet Royal RomCom series
366 pages · First published 2023
Crown Prince Phillip of Elsinore approaches the urgent problem of choosing a wife exactly as he approaches everything else: with analysis, measurable criteria, and a carefully constructed rubric. He secretly travels to a small Italian village to propose to Alessia, the woman who scores best, expecting to complete the task efficiently and return before anyone notices he is gone. Instead he is immediately attracted to a woman who distrusts and dislikes him, forcing the future king to abandon data and actually court her. This closed-door royal romantic comedy pits duty and logic against inconvenient emotion as Phillip discovers that a perfect match cannot be reduced to a spreadsheet.
