The Young Royals Books 1-4 Boxset

Books 1-4 of The Young Royals series, including Lord Darkly, a Young Royals side story.

Book 1 - A Royal Engagement

The Spare is now the Heir

Alyssabeth never expected that one day she would be queen. She was the second child of the king and queen of Merveille and female. Two strikes against her as far as the patriarchal society of Merveille was concerned. But that all changed the day her father and brother were killed in a hunting accident.

Not much had changed in the small country in her four year absence, but there were two noticeable differences. Her brother's two best friends, Will Darkly and Jordan Wicks, had grown up into two very intriguing men. Jordan practically swept her off her feet from the moment she stepped off the plane, but Will was more reserved and his darkly intense interest in her gave her tingles.

Alyssa wasn't sure she was cut out to be Queen, but she knew she wanted to do her father and brother proud. She was willing to give it her best shot, even if it meant going toe to toe with Parliament. And then there was the small matter of her needing to be married in order to fulfil her birthright and take her place as the Head of State.

Book 1.5 - Lord Darkly

There are always two sides to the story

A Royal Engagement was told exclusively from Princess Alyssa's point of viewnow see Will's side of the story.

The last few years have been hell for Will Darkly, Duke of Camphrey, Lord of Pemberton. First his mother died, then his father, leaving the estate destitute and we won't even go into how he and his sister were betrayed by someone they trusted. Now, just when he has finally landed on his feet, his best friend, the Crown Prince Jacob St. Benét, is killed in a hunting accident.

Jacob's death brings Will face to face with his childhood crush, the prince's sister, Alyssa, now the crown princess and heir apparent and she's even more beautiful than he remembered. She's also involved with the one man who could cause Will to commit murder.

Grieving for his friend, trying to keep his business moving forward, and avoiding the attraction he feels for his best friend's sister leaves him short tempered and irritable and something has to give before he loses his mind.

Book 2 - A Royal Entanglement

On the day of the new Queen's coronation, a man from Lady Alexandra's past turns up unannounced in Merveille. Lord Frederic intercepts him and discovers that Alex had left this man at the altar six months ago and now he was here to claim her.

The last thing Freddie wants is to get entangled with a woman. He liked to keep his options open, but now that he has returned to Merveille for good, his mother is trying her damnedest to get him married off and producing the next Bingham heir. When Alex asks for his help, he is only too eager to help her and maybe get his mother off his back in the process.

Alex hasn't told anyone the real reason she left everything she had worked so hard for in the States to return to Merveille and take up the position of Queen Alyssa's personal assistant. But now the main reason for her flight from the US as turned up on the palace's doorstep and she is backed into a corner.
