To Kiss a King is Here

A later-in-life romance. A second chance at love. An ambassador weighing her duties against her desires. A monarch walking the tightrope between his public and private lives. Any of these sound like your kind of romance novel catnip?

I’m thrilled to share that To Kiss a King is now available at retailers worldwide! Many of you have told me that this is the San Rimini book you’ve been anticipating most.

Here’s the back-of-book info if you’d like a sneak peek:

He’s heralded around the world as a romantic icon. The last thing he needs is to fall in love.

King Eduardo diTalora is riding a popularity high, thanks to his political acumen, his charitable endeavors, and above all, the storybook romance he had with his late wife, Queen Aletta. He plans to use that goodwill in the best way possible, to push long-term projects that will benefit his country.

When Claire Peyton, the new American ambassador, pitches a project of her own, Eduardo wonders if it’s possible to find love a second time. But as Claire and Eduardo face the political and personal repercussions of time spent together, each of them must choose between their duty to country and their love for each other.

But when the world sits in judgment, does love stand a chance?

I loved writing about Eduardo and Claire. Having the opportunity to write about a couple of their age and life experience was fun. I think you’ll enjoy their story, too.

You can find it at your favorite retailer in ebook, print, or audio. As has been the case with earlier San Rimini books, the talented Hollis McCarthy narrates. Enjoy!

Here’s a peek:

A royal secret. A marriage in jeopardy.

Rocco Cornaro dedicates his life to creating innovative, life-saving medical devices, and in the process has become a wealthy man. However, he harbors a deep secret: his mother was once the lover of Sarcaccia’s King Carlo Barrali, and Rocco is the product of their secret affair.

Trained from birth to keep his royal parentage quiet, Rocco cannot even trust his beloved wife with his secret, and his silence drives her away. When Justine is kidnapped and held for ransom, he must risk everything—his siblings' security, his life’s work, and the reputation of a royal family—to save the woman he loves. But when he reveals his secret—and confronts a new, horrible truth—will it end his marriage forever?

The Royal Bastard has never before been on sale, so now is the time to get your copy. Though it’s part of the Royal Scandals series, it was written so it can be read independently. 

Enjoy!
