Welcome to the Royals!

What will follow for the next several months is four books. Four royals from four different countries.

In the first story, Ascending, tragedy has stricken a small North Sea nation, and an unexpected Queen takes the throne. That tragedy brings her to a reporter, who just happens to be there for a much-needed vacation, and as secrets are discovered and a monarchy hangs in the balance, two women fall in love.

Each book in this series takes place in a new country, but there are some loose friend-and-family connections as you have with monarchies today. They can be read as stand-alones, but I’d still recommend reading them in order

or you’ll miss some of those connections.

Ascending

Elizabeth, 25

Royal

Lesbian

Palmer, 29

Reporter

Lesbian

This is book #1 in the Royalty Series.

Growing up fifth in line for the throne, Elizabeth never thought she would have to rule the small island nation of St. Rais. When a plot to take down the monarchy also takes her entire family from her, Elizabeth is thrust into the role of reluctant Queen. Not only did she lose most of her family, but she also lost the only love she’d ever known.

Palmer Honeycutt, a reporter for a popular New York City newspaper, was on vacation in a country nearly no one had heard of before. A deal she’d gotten at the relaxing resort and spa had been just what she’d needed. Little did she know that while she was trying to relax, the whole royal family would nearly be lost to tragedy, and a young Queen would present her a perfect story.

Both women approach their new relationship cautiously at first, but it doesn’t take long for Palmer to start wishing the new Queen was someone she could spend more time with. Elizabeth also seems to have a lot of time for Palmer, which only confuses Palmer more.

After all Elizabeth has lost and what she’s willing to give up for her country, is she also willing to risk it all to possibly find love again in an American reporter who’s been there for her during the toughest part of her life?

Annie Halifax, 30

Small Business Owner,

Entrepreneur

Lesbian

This is book #5 in the Holiday Series.

Paisley Hill cared about one thing – she was building her company from the ground up without accepting any money from her wealthy family to do it. That was important to Paisley, and she took her job as a consultant seriously, wanting to help companies grow and get more efficient because of her ideas. The one thing Paisley hadn’t cared much about in years, was a relationship. She’d been fine with casual dates and hookups every now and then, but Paisley had watched several of her close friends find love this year, and she tried to push the loneliness and fear of losing her friends to love out of her mind.

Trinity Pascal had an idea one day, told her best friend about it, and now, years later, they were trying to establish their new company with money from investors. Trinity loved problem-solving and brainstorming, but she wasn’t much of a fan of the day-to-day business stuff. When her business-partner-and-best-friend suggests they bring in a consultant to help, Trinity is more than surprised to see her old high school bully, Paisley Hill, walk into the building.

While Trinity definitely remembers Paisley, Paisley doesn’t seem to know who Trinity is, at first. As they navigate their work relationship, and things clearly start to move from beyond work-only, both women have to decide if they’re ready for something that might just be the real thing – right in time for Paisley’s nosy mother to invite Trinity to the family Thanksgiving dinner.

Elin, 30

Royal

Lesbian

Ingrid, 37

Private Secretary

Lesbian

This is book #2 in the Royalty Series.

Elin, the Princess of Norway, never planned to become the country’s Queen – her twin brother, older by minutes, would be the next King. When her father decided to retire, and her brother abdicated to continue his career in the military service, Elin was thrust into being not only the next in line, but the new Queen.

Ingrid, the Princess’s Private Secretary, was happy for her sometimes nervous and often klutzy Princess ascending to the throne, but because of her lack of seniority, she was disappointed to find out she won’t be Elin’s secretary any longer. When the new Queen moves mountains to keep Ingrid on her staff, Ingrid begins to wonder why she’d do that.

The new Queen’s crush is close to being revealed, and the Secretary, who’s always been professional, cannot take her eyes off of the woman she’s worked with for years. While it might seem impossible, Ingrid also can’t stop thinking about the possibility of more with the woman who will now be Queen of Norway.

Alice, 33

Royal

Coming out later in life

Nora, 40

Royal Guard

Lesbian

This is book #3 in the Royalty Series.

Alice, a small-town teacher who had lost her parents years ago, had always felt out of place. There was just something missing in her life that she could never seem to identify. When a man showed up to tell her that she was the long-lost daughter of a King and Queen who had been exiled from their country and were now dead, Alice didn’t believe him.

Nora, a Major in the Royal Protection Service of Kleinland – a small island nation in the North Sea – had always fought for the crown, including the war that was lost to the rebels. While Kleinland was now being run by a dictator, who’s intent on ruining her country, Nora volunteers to find and bring back the nation’s rightful heir, a teacher in America named Alice.

Alice is hesitant to believe and claim her title as Queen of Kleinland, but the Major could be very persuasive. She’s also very attractive, and Alice is wondering why she’s never thought of a woman the way she’s thinking about the Major when she should be focused on trying to oust a dictator with his army and regain control of her new country.

Alex, mid-30s

Royal (Princess)

Lesbian

Bexley, 35

Speech Pathologist, Ph. D

Lesbian

This is book #4 in the Royalty Series.

Alexandria – or Alex, as she preferred to be called – would one day be the next Queen of the United Kingdom. She would also be the first out lesbian who would take that title. Born before her younger, more accomplished brother, she’d always wondered if her parents would have preferred he’d been born first so that it would be him up next and she could fall to next-in-line after his children and never rule. When she first met the best friend of the Queen of Kleinland, she was smitten. Meeting her again and again at various events and gatherings had Alex more than smitten and wishing the woman would give her the time of day.

Bexley Woods earned her Ph. D in speech pathology and was asked by her best friend, now Queen of Kleinland, to bring speech therapy to the small country after the events of the two recent wars. Bexley moved temporarily, with the intention of building a program, and found herself with the future Queen of England there to help. Both inconvenient and interesting, Bexley wasn’t sure why the Princess was there. But, in time, she realized that the woman she thought Alex was couldn’t be further from the truth.

Finding time together and figuring out their feelings was easy when they were both in the same place at the same time. But with a domineering mother in the picture, who wanted what was best for her Princess daughter, and the need for Bexley to go home to care for a sick grandparent, the reality of their situation came to light sooner than both women would have preferred.
