He needs a royal redemption arc. She needs to keep her distance. The public wants a story, preferably a romantic one.I called him Ledonia’s most eligible man-child in a headline. Now I’m living at his palace.
After my no-holds-barred exposé on Prince Maximilien goes viral, the royal family doesn’t banish me—they hire me. Apparently, the King and Queen think damage control looks like me filming an exclusive behind-the-scenes series on their charming, cocky, scandal-prone son.
Prince Max isn’t thrilled. In fact, he downright despises me. Which is fine. Because the feeling? Entirely mutual.
But the thing is, I didn’t expect him to be smarter, deeper, and somehow even hotter in royal pajamas. And I definitely didn’t expect to start falling for a man I’ve built a career out of publicly roasting.
There’s just one problem: He has no idea who I really am.
He may be a real-life prince, but I’m royally off-limits.
Enemies to lovers
Hidden identity
Forced proximity
One bed
Slow burn, kissing only
And a Labrador puppy called Toffee
Romantic, fun, and swoon worthy, Royally Off-Limits is a laugh-out-loud romp about a prince who has lost his way and a woman with a hidden past who has everything to lose. It’s The Princess Diaries for grown-ups meets The Hating Game. If you love opposites attract, forced proximity, slow burns, snarky banter, and a royal who accidentally falls hard, this one’s for you.
All the titles in the Royally Kissed series can be read as standalone novels or as part of the series.
"You're impressive, Max, and not just in your encouragement of the kids. You get your hands dirty."
He looks at me—really looks at me—and I can't help but notice the deep, chocolate brown of his eyes is flecked with gold, like autumn leaves before they fall.
Heat sparks low in my stomach, spreading like lava before I can stop it. I swallow hard, pretending to focus on anything else, but he's already everywhere around me. The scent of him, clouding my thoughts, the way that one look feels like a touch.
All I can think about is how it had felt during our impromptu archery lesson when he was so close behind me, his hands on mine as he guided my arrow, his breath warm on my neck, his voice low and intimate, rumbling through me.
Suddenly, I'm way too close to this man who fills my mind, who's been living rent-free in my head, the man who's turning out to be everything I didn't know I was looking for.
But everything I want.
I need to break this spell, and I need to break it now.
So, I do what any sane woman who's dangerously close to catching feelings for an off-limits man would do. I lean as far away from him as physics will allow, bracing my hands behind me, my spine as stiff as a ruler.
Max's dark brows furrow as he takes in my impression of a human pretzel, his lips quirking—those lips I have absolutely no business wanting to kiss.
It does nothing to help the situation. My stomach swoops, hard enough that for one alarming second, I almost topple over.
And then, the worst happens. The seat cushion under my hands slides out from beneath me, and I literally tumble to the ground, falling in a heap of limbs like a wood pile.
That did not just happen.
