Reluctantly Royal (Riches & Royals)

She’d stopped believing in fairy tales until Prince Charming stormed her ivory tower . . .

Gracie lost her father, her sister's friendship, and her confidence in a single night. Now, her academic research in her sister's new home—the Kingdom of Melesia—gives Gracie a second chance. But when she falls in love with the king's brother, she'll have to risk both her heart and her privacy to join him in his world.

Oh, and there’s just a couple of other little things. She must break a promise. Admit to a betrayal. And possibly stand trial for treason.

Can love conquer all? Or will Gracie lose her chance to become reluctantly royal?
