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.

MEETING THE IN-LAWS
The commotion settled as quickly as it arose. Jasmine and a few maids helped carry the Queen inside her chamber.
"Mother, please stay with us," Jasmine ran inside, her two sons running behind her.
The youngest princess, Adelaide, stayed behind, looking at Oriana with no expression on her face. After some time, she turned and joined others inside the palace.
Oriana, who stood beside Adric amidst the throng, her face etched with worry, didn't notice anything else; she just wanted to be sure the woman was going to be fine.
"Are you alright?" Adric asked, his voice softer than Oriana expected.
She chewed on her bottom lip, her eyes flitting nervously. "Your mother… is she going to be alright?"
Adric shrugged, a hint of amusement lingering in his eyes. "She has a tendency for dramatics. Rest assured, she'll be back soon, fuming but very much alive."
