About ROYAL MARRIAGE MARKET:
Every decade, the world’s monarchs and their heirs secretly convene to discuss global politics and social issues—and arrange marriages between kingdoms.
Elsa may be the Hereditary Princess of Vattenguldia, but she finds the entire situation archaic and unsavory. While she wants what's best for her country, she isn't about to jump into an unwanted relationship—let alone a marriage—with a virtual stranger. Of course, her feelings matter little to her parents, whose wheeling and dealings over trade pacts and alliances achieved at her expense begin the moment they set foot in California for the Summit. So when a blindingly handsome royal runs into her, she doesn't hesitate to tell him there's no way she's marrying him.
Christian is all too happy to agree: no marriage. As the Hereditary Grand Duke of Aiboland, his main goal is to get through the summit without a bride being foisted on him. Which is why he suggests they help each other field potential intendeds. As Christian slowly gets to know Elsa, though, he realizes they have a lot more in common than just their feelings about the Royal Marriage Market. Only he can't fall for her, because royal or not, they're not meant for each other.
Elsa and Christian will have to evaluate matters of the heart verses those of state and crown, and decide whether or not tradition trumps love.
"The perfect royal romance." Nichole Chase, New York Times bestselling author.
“You
go by Chris?”
“It’s an acceptable nickname for Christian.” The owner of the
name snatches his glass of champagne back, chugging the rest of the
drink. Naturally, this promptly sets off another round of coughing.
Parker
is now the one to smack Christian’s back, and I am grateful because
I most certainly do not need to be touching him again, even if in a
life-saving gesture.
“Maybe so,” I murmur as
Christian, rapidly turning redder from what surely must be
embarrassment more than alcohol down the wrong pipe, shoves his
friend’s hand away. “But it doesn’t fit.”
“If I might be so bold to ask,
Your Highness, how so?” Parker inquires at the same time Christian
wheezes, “What does that
mean?”
I
side skirt the men to claim a chocolate covered strawberry from the
dessert table. “Chris is a boring name.”
“I
believe you’ve just issued an unforgiveable insult to all the
Chrises in the world,” Christian says flatly while Parker struggles
to hold in his mirth.
“Of
course I haven’t. I simply said Chris is a boring name. Look at
Elsa; it is a hopelessly old-fashioned name you find in old women who
bake streusel. My parents aged me the moment I came out of the womb.”
I point the zebra-striped berry at my sparring partner. “Now that
is unforgiveable. You were given a nice name and have elected to make
it boring when it doesn’t suit you one bit.”
Too
much silence expands between us; I am tricked into looking up at him
once more. One of his dark eyebrows arches upward. “Are you saying
you don’t find me boring?”
Did
I? Oh, bollocks. I did,
didn’t I? I clear my throat and smile winsomely. “Just because I
don’t wish to marry you doesn’t mean I find you boring as a bag
of rocks.”
Both
of his eyebrows shoot up, as if I informed him grass is blue and sky
is green. As if he doesn’t already know he’s interesting. Please.
Must I remind him of all the glossies dedicated to his comings and
goings?
“When we were children, His
Highness was teased quite a bit about his name,” Parker tells me.
I
toss the strawberry stem back onto the table; it’s whisked up by a
passing waiter in less than a second. “What! Why?”
“I’m
named after a religion,” Christian grinds out. “There was Prince
Jew. Prince Muslim. Prince Buddhist. Prince Hindu. Prince
Zoroastrian. There were lots of choices, you see.”
Another
moment I want nothing more than to just laugh and laugh. “How
delightful. Now, those nicknames aren’t boring. Sacrilegious, yes,
but definitely not boring.”
“You
have a seed in your front teeth,” is Christian’s response.
“You
are a veritable Prince Charming, publically pointing out women’s
flaws. How chivalrous of you.”
It is annoying how much I like
that he refuses to appear properly chastised.
