Royal Runaway's Holiday - Paperback

by Mandy Boerma (Author)

She's been trained to put her royal duty first, but what happens when it will cost her the dream she's always harbored?

Evalina Rosalind Marie Bexley, Princess of Nevive, is ready to step into her role as Queen. The pageantry, the protocols, and, most certainly, the pretense. She's prepared for it her whole life-until Parliament uncovers an ancient law saying she must marry before her birthday next month.

In an unprecedented move, she seeks refuge at the local Christmas bazaar. She's certain her disguise will give her the freedom she craves before she must face her obligations. No one will ever know- after all, no one, including God, sees the real Eva.

He's worked for years to prove himself in a country that isn't his.

Reporter Gordon Tarpen may have found the story of a lifetime when he recognizes his childhood friend, Eva, at the Christmas bazaar. Despite her heavy disguise, he'd know that laugh, that smile, those eyes anywhere. And he most certainly recognizes the same way the princess captivates those around her. Is he willing to sacrifice her trust for his own personal gain?

For one unforgettable day, they share adventure, laughter, and the spark of something more. But when the truth shatters their fragile fairytale, can love-and God's grace-rewrite the rules? Or will the crown demand the ultimate sacrifice: her heart?
