Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regina (Gigi) Spacola spent her entire college career working hard. She only had two rules to live by. Rule #1 was to work hard and get good grades. Rule #2 was don’t make the same mistake her friends made. Don’t date Jeremy Cotton! He was known for breaking every girl’s heart and she was not going to fall victim to his seductive ways. To that very end, Gigi succeeded in glorious fashion on both accounts. Then, they bumped into each other during a college graduation celebration and their lives would never be the same again. Over the course of the summer, Gigi started a new job as a sale woman for QualTel Communications. She spends her days learning about their products and developing the skills required to be a successful salesperson. But a whole new level of fun comes when she starts meeting customers and experiencing a series of mishaps that show you just how Gigi found herself laughing all the way to the bank. While her days are full of dedication and adventure, she spends her nights living a modern-day Cinderella story with one of Boston’s young princes. As the son of the richest lawyer in Boston and founding partner of the largest and most prestigious law firm in Boston, Jeremy introduces his girl to life among Boston’s elite. It may have started as a conquest, but he soon learns that Gigi isn’t just any girl. She is the one. Just when he is ready to live happily ever after, the prince of Boston is put in an impossible position. To keep a promise to his father, he must give up his girl for the first term of law school. Before leaving for Harvard Law, Jeremy must prove to Gigi that he truly loves her and find a way for their relationship to endure the four-month hiatus.

Book excerpt: In the climactic finale of the USA Today–bestselling author’s royal romance series, a fairytale wedding isn’t the end of the story—it’s the beginning. It seemed like every girl’s dream: fall in love with a prince and be whisked off for your very own glamorous happy-ever-after. But there’s more to this royal fairy tale for Allegra Jackson and Prince Alessandro Santina. Allegra’s headline-grabbing family hardly prepared her for a life of public duty, and sinfully delicious Prince Alessandro has always seemed virtually allergic to the idea of settling down in Santa Maria. Out of all the flamboyant, beautiful women his name’s been linked with, the heir to the throne picked ordinary Allegra with the family from hell. Now everyone is watching to see if the tabloid’s couple of the year is really playing for keeps.
