A Royal Mismatch: The Trouble with Prince Charming
(*No Rape*) Bringing to you from the Series of The Queens' Trilogy; A Royal Mismatch. From Royal Reject to Accidental Crown Princess: A Marriage of Convenience Gone Wrong . Every girl dreams of being born a princess, right? Not Oriana. Sitting on a little stool, waited on by hand and foot? No thanks. Freedom, adventure anything but the stifling expectations of royalty is what she craves. In fact, she'd rather be scaling the castle walls tonight than attending a stuffy soiree. Luckily, she wasn't born to be the crown princess. In fact, she is the bane of etiquette tutors and the kingdom's resident "bad egg." But fate, it seems, has a wicked sense of humor. Duty throws Oriana into a political marriage with the infamous Crown Prince Adric of Avon. A notorious playboy known for his scandalous lifestyle and disregard for courtly decorum, Adric seems like the perfect escape hatch from her suffocating expectations. Adric, on the other hand, couldn't care less who he marries. His reputation precedes him; a notorious playboy who thrives on defying expectations. But when the fiery Oriana crashes into his world of calculated indifference, sparks fly. Will this forced union ignite a royal scandal of epic proportions or blossom into an unexpected love that challenges the very foundations of their kingdom? Other works of this author; 1.

CRACK IN FACADE
Gwen sat beside her husband, holding him closely as if he would disappear if she should leave him.
Walter and Kai ran inside the room, behind them was their father.
Fidelis opened his arms widely to welcome his grandsons. "Look at my little cubs," he smiled brightly.
"Grandfather, did you really go somewhere dangerous last night?" Walter asked, his curious eyes shining brightly.
Fidelis turned to look at Jasmine, who shrugged her shoulders. He then turned to his grandson. "What did I tell you about your grandfather?"
"That you've killed a boar with your bare hands!" Walter exclaimed, demonstrating with his hands.
The King nodded. "And that is right. It means nothing would ever be too dangerous for me. I just took a walk last night," he said, and Walter nodded with a smile.
Kai, who was listening, asked, "I was outside watching the sun flies. I didn't see you, Grandfather."
