Book excerpt: From Nero's nagging mother (whom he found especially annoying after taking her as his lover) to Catherine's stable of studs (not of the equine variety), here is a wickedly delightful look at the most scandalous royal doings you never learned about in history class. Gleeful, naughty, sometimes perverted-like so many of the crowned heads themselves-A Treasury of Royal Scandals presents the best (the worst?) of royal misbehavior through the ages. From ancient Rome to Edwardian England, from the lavish rooms of Versailles to the dankest corners of the Bastille, the great royals of Europe have excelled at savage parenting, deadly rivalry, pathological lust, and meeting death with the utmost indignity-or just very bad luck.

Book excerpt: Fairy tales do come true—and so do tabloid scandals! Bestselling author Marquita Valentine kicks off a juicy contemporary romance series with a novel about a prince whose best-laid plans go deliciously awry when he marries the maid next door. Forced to flee to the United States with his siblings after their parents’ assassination, Crown Prince Colin Sinclair takes it upon himself to become the caretaker of his family while hiding out near Charlotte, North Carolina. But after a decade in hiding, the secret’s out and Parliament demands that Colin wed a princess of their choosing. Unwilling to play their game, Colin decides to marry an American instead, and he has the perfect candidate in mind. As a home-service professional, Della Hughes doesn’t believe in storybook endings. But when her best friend and secret crush reveals that he’s a flesh-and-blood prince, she doesn’t know what to think. Still, she’ll do anything for Colin, including becoming his wife—in name only, of course. But when their plans to stay purely platonic go by the wayside, their fake honeymoon turns all too real. After a week of white-hot nights, Della can no longer deny her feelings—not with a happily ever after so tantalizingly close.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a prince, I'm used to getting whatever I want. As THE prince, I'm used to getting whoever I want--And I have her. But happiness can be harder to manage than it seems. Melody, my soon-to-be-wife and future queen, couldn't be more perfect. From the alluring curves of her voluptuous body to the way she makes me want to be a better person, I'm insatiable around her. Every waking moment away from her is time spent fantasizing about how or where I'm going to rip her clothes off next; at the top of the highest tower in the palace, in a closet between princely meetings, or even under a table at our engagement party. She's everything I have ever dreamed of. It's perfect. Except for the fact that the kingdom is in utter peril due to my father's rapidly declining health. If he perishes before I'm wed, I won't be the one inheriting the kingdom. Instead, the bloodline will shift and my unfit uncle will be our new king. I can't let that happen, and I'll do whatever it takes to block that man from ruling Illium. Even if that means telling my beloved Melody whatever she needs to hear so that she agrees to reschedule our wedding from next year to next week. With our go-to coordinator of all things royal Anna at the helm, we can pull this wedding off. But Anna and Melody seem to have some unexplained tension that I can't quite put my finger on. With everyone trying to tear us apart and my looming secret creeping out of the shadows, we'll need more than a miracle to make this happen. The clock starts now!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1798. Hyderabad, India. Lieutenant Colonel James Achilles Kirkpatrick is the recently appointed British Resident. When he first meets Khair-un-Nissa, a beautiful Indian noblewoman, love inevitably blossoms. It soon becomes clear to James and Khair that the road they have chosen is strewn with painful conflicts around his religion, her honour, their identities, and even their survival. With time, they are shunned by two severe societies, used and discarded as mere pawns in the ruthless battles of pride and honour, and ultimately exploited as a means to settle personal scores of those in power. How much will they have to stake for the sake of love? How far will they be compelled to go? What is the price they pay for love? Set amidst majestic palaces, regal forts, fragrant gardens and a paradigm shift in power among the highest thrones of command, The Royal Scandal is a love story that dared to defy, and forever changed the power dynamics in British India. The book highlights the spirit of a young nineteen-year-old Indian noblewoman who broke through the barriers of religion for her love, and the resolve of a much older British officer who put at stake his entire career to let his love blossom. In this bittersweet story, you will get a glimpse of the politics that changed the way India grew in the era, as also the personal vendettas of people in power. “...a marvellous work on how politics impacts the love story of a British Resident and a Hyderabadi noblewoman... meticulously-researched narrative with a simple style.” - Dr. Aruna Pariti. Head – Department of History, Osmania University, Hyderabad. “This is history writing with its moistness retained. Thoroughly researched and extremely readable.” - Dr. Shankar Kumar. Department of History, Hindu College, Delhi University.
