A royal scandal leads to an attraction they can’t deny…
Reeling from the discovery that his father hid an older sibling from him, billionaire prince Benoit Georges Moreau goes undercover at a British newspaper to track his half-sister down. Unfortunately, the fiery reporter he’s assigned to work with recognizes him instantly. The jig is up—or is it?
Jane has built her whole life on seeking out the truth. After living in the shadow of her father’s lies for years, she leaps at the chance to uncover a royal exclusive. If she can help this handsome prince solve a decades-old mystery, he’ll let her break the story about this shocking royal secret. For Jane, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to advance her career as an investigative journalist.
But as they spend more time together, the fake relationship they craft to conceal Ben’s royal identity starts to feel all too real. And it quickly becomes impossible to deny the chemistry between them.
When the truth leads to betrayal, will their undeniable attraction be enough for them to take a leap of faith?
City girl Janine Wilson’s career is taking off but the same can’t be said about her love life. No matter—as manager of the Inn at Blue Moon Bay, Janine’s in charge of throwing a huge party to celebrate the Inn’s recent expansion and doesn’t have time for distractions. Unfortunately, two big ones suddenly show up: her thrill-seeking incompatible ex, Cody, who refuses to accept their breakup, and Cody’s handsome and charming best friend, Texas cowboy Jackson Davis.
Reluctantly, Janine agrees to meet Cody for one last dinner because Cody says he has a huge business opportunity for the Inn. But when Cody takes her on a boat ride to show her his great idea, Jackson is at the helm. Janine has been trying to resist her attraction to Jackson because they have no common interests, not to mention he’s her ex’s best friend. Once they stop on a deserted island, though, Janine doesn’t expect the sparks that fly between them, the spontaneous kiss they share, or what Cody does after witnessing said kiss.
Janine was convinced she needed a sophisticated man who shared the same interests as her. Now that she’s been stranded on a deserted island with Jackson, will she discover he’s everything she never knew she really wanted?

We’re just a short time away from the return of the “Can You Read A Series In A Month?” Challenge from Berls & Michelle at Because Reading. (all links -graphic and word links lead you to the signup page) Begins Sept 1st through September 30th.
I’ve done this challenge in the past on other blogs that I have. But since I’m really trying to get caught up on series here at Happily Ever After Romance, I think this year (or this time) HEAR gets the honor of trying. 🙂
I have two series in mind, and because each has between 4 – 6 books either one would work… now to narrow the choice down before September 1st!
It’s a good way to get a few more books off of my TBR pile and enjoy some good stories. If you’re interested go check out the signup page for yourself.
Update: After a bit of looking through my overly packed Kindle I decided to go in a different direction. I’m reading the Coltons of Grave Gulch multi-author series by Harlequin for this challenge. It’s been “a year” so far and I need to get caught up on this series since I have all the books except the final four (because Harlequin changed the release dates (and added another title)… and, in fact, since the next one will release in late September I may have time to add that one to this challenge leaving only three yet unpublished stories to finish.
Uncovering Colton’s Family Secret by Linda O. Johnston
Agent Colton’s Takedown by Beverly Long
Proving Colton’s Innocence by Lara Lacombe
There are three titles that are not released yet in this series – so, can I really state with honesty that I’ve read a series in a month? Technically, no, not really. But then I never started this challenge with the thought of “winning” but with a determination to complete a challenge that has always eluded me… in other words, to prove something to myself. 🙂
A Colton Internal Affair by Jennifer D. Bokal drops on September 28, 2021, so I can get that one read before the month of this challenge is up. The rest? Well, I’ll enjoy them as they are published each month to complete this engaging, fascinating series.
So. I’m going to call this “Can You Read A Series In A Month?” Challenge a win and will look forward to the next time the Challenge comes around. I had fun, it felt good to make a plan and buckle down to get these titles read and off of my Kindle’s TBR pile (mountain). I was never going for the “prize” offered but for the satisfaction of knowing that I finished my own goal… that is the win for me. 🙂
But the danger remains in the mountains of Montana…
