Red, White & Royal Blue meets The Nightmare Before Christmas in a sexy, quirky rom-com where the golden-hearted Prince of Christmas falls for the totally off-limits Prince of Halloween.

Nicholas “Coal” Claus used to love Christmas. Until his father, the reigning Santa, turned the holiday into a PR façade. Coal will do anything to escape the spectacle, including getting tangled in a drunken, supremely hot make-out session with a beautiful man behind a seedy bar one night.

But the heir to Christmas is soon commanded to do his duty: he will marry his best friend, Iris, the Easter Princess and his brother’s not-so-secret crush. A situation that has disaster written all over it.

Things go from bad to worse when a rival arrives to challenge Coal for the princess’s hand…and Coal comes face-to-face with his mysterious behind-the-bar hottie: Hex, the Prince of Halloween.

It’s a fake competition between two holiday princes who can’t keep their hands off each other over a marriage of convenience that no one wants. And it all leads to one of the sweetest, sexiest, messiest, most delightfully unforgettable love stories of the year.

Royals and Romance

The series

Full series details →

Not every crown comes with duty and tradition. Sometimes it comes with chaos, scandal, and kisses that could topple kingdoms. In this playful, modern twist on royalty, the Royals and Romance series blends sharp banter, steamy tension, and fairy-tale charm with the messy realities of love.

Read full series description

At the heart of these stories are women who never asked to be swept into royal spotlights, and men who discover that titles and power mean little when matched against a stubborn heart. From holiday misadventures that spiral into unlikely romance to battles of wit that turn into battles of desire, each book captures the spark of attraction colliding with the weight of expectation.

The series thrives on its mix of lighthearted humor and emotional depth. Readers are treated to grand gestures and glittering settings, but also to moments of vulnerability where love feels dangerous and exhilarating all at once. It is romance that doesn’t shy away from being outrageous, funny, and a little bit irreverent, while still delivering the swoon-worthy passion fans crave.

Perfect for readers who dream of royals behaving badly, or of fairy tales rewritten with a wink, Royals and Romance offers an escape into a world where love is both a crown and a rebellion.
