Oh, it’s happiness. My heart is exploding with happiness. “You’d only have to walk behind me if I were going to be a reigning monarch.”
“Good, because I really like the idea of holding hands wherever we go.”

Dear Spike,
Thanks so much for your lengthy reply and your heartfelt congratulations. I just knew those Canadians were nastier than they seem, so I appreciate you filling me in on the truth behind their maple-syrup-sweet façade.
Thank you also for your kind invitation. Will and I would love to sail up and spend a few weeks with you all as soon as possible. At the moment, we’re somewhere off the coast of the Cook Islands, taking some time to really get to know each other (wink, wink) before we announce our intentions to marry, thus unleashing the news hounds.
We have to head back to the Benaventes next week for our flight to Valcourt. The premiere of “The Wild World” is fast approaching, and as part of our contract, we need to do the whole press junket. To answer your question, I’m horribly nervous about seeing myself on film, especially as such a mess. It feels like so long ago that we were out in Zamunda, and I honestly can’t remember if I made any sort of incriminating remarks or not. I can’t help but have a bad feeling about it, though. There’s almost no way that woman I shoved—Dylan—doesn’t have any tricks up her sleeve to create a bigger stir. She’s an evil genius, but just how evil is something we’ll have to wait to find out.
As to my future, I don’t know exactly what it holds, other than love, that is. My family has succumbed to my demands, so I’m happy to write that I’ll be starting as the Avonian Ambassador for the Equal Everywhere Campaign as of next month. I also will be cutting back on some of my royal functions while Will and I figure out how to make things work. I must tell you that we owe you and Megs a debt of gratitude. The entire staff (and my father) are so terrified of our own Megxit, that they’ve become quite agreeable. So, thank you to you both for blazing the trail.
Okay, I should run. Will has been preparing some wine and cheese for us to share on deck, and it would be rude of me to keep him waiting.
Tell Meghan I now know what she means about how good that thing is that she was telling me about, and that Will is an absolute god in that department. (But don’t worry, she said you’re amazing, too).
Your deliriously happy friend,
Arabella

A Crazy Royal Love Romantic Comedy, Book 2
The tabloids are hunting them. Their families are turning on them. Can their love survive?
Despite the odds, Princess Arabella of Avonia and rugged outdoorsman, Will Banks, fell in love while filming a reality show in the jungle. But that’s another story.
While she’s making room in the royal closet for his hiking boots and backpacks—right next to the crown jewels—the show’s producers are editing together film footage that could turn their romance into nothing more than a showmance.
Private moments caught tape and aired for the world’s viewing pleasure are about to turn their world upside down.
Can love to conquer all?
