One of PopSugar's Top Summer Reads of 2021!An ordinary summer goes royally awry when a prince
and princess move next door bringing their handsome bodyguard with them from New York Times
bestselling author Karina Halle.Piper Evans: elementary school teacher by day--avid romance
reader and anonymous podcaster by night. She has a quiet reclusive life taking care of her
mother who lives with mental illness avoiding her regrettable ex who bartends in town and
trying to make inroads in the tight-knit island community that still sees her five years in
as an outsider. And she's happy with how things are--really--until British royals rent the
property next to hers and their brooding bodyguard decides she's a security threat. Piper
quickly realizes that one person's fairy tale is an ordinary woman's nightmare as a media
frenzy takes over the island and each run-in with Harrison Cole is hotter and more confusing
than the last. But beneath Harrison's no-nonsense exterior lies a soft heart one that could
tempt a woman who's sworn off attachments into believing in white knights. But when Piper finds
herself smack in the middle of a royal scandal that rocks the island she'll need more than
Harrison's strong arms to shield her--she'll have to do a little rescuing herself. With careers
hearts and friendships on the line Piper and Harrison will have to decide what they're
willing to give up for a chance at their own happily ever after.
