Royal Pleasure is a sweeping historical romance set in the 17th-18th century, a tale of love defying status, duty, and the expectations of a royal court.
Angeline, the child of palace servants, spent her early years within the grand halls of the royal estate, where she and Prince Edward formed a deep and unbreakable bond. But when a tragic illness claimed her parents' lives, the Queen cast her out, seeing no place for an orphaned servant among royalty. Forced to fend for herself, Angeline disappeared from Edward's world-until fate brought her back ten years later.
Now a man bound by the weight of his title, Edward has never forgotten the girl who once captivated his heart. And despite the years, the distance, and the vast divide between them, their love rekindles, burning with a passion neither of them can deny.
But their love is forbidden. The Queen has chosen a noble bride for Edward, and to her, Angeline is nothing more than a servant unworthy of a prince. With betrayal, court intrigue, and the looming threat of scandal, they must risk everything to be together. Their love will face trials of heartbreak, separation, and sacrifice-but true love is not so easily extinguished.
Through stolen kisses, secret meetings, and a love that refuses to fade, Edward and Angeline must decide if they will bow to the expectations of the crown or forge their own destiny.
A tale of passion, devotion, and the triumph of love over convention-Royal Pleasure proves that no matter the obstacles, love will always find a way.
The words graceful, proper, ladylike and elegant could never be used to describe Perrie Beresford, the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Ashwood. Perrie has always had a little too much fire in her to ever be classified as a beautiful young debutante, which is what she will inevitably become in her first Season.
But romance, courting, and marriage are the last things on Perrie's mind. Especially when her nemesis, who was once an annoying classmate, suddenly appears in her home as her father's protégé.
As Perrie is pushed towards the life of an adult by those around her, she can't help but be pulled into a game of wars within the walls of her very home. But Perrie is about to learn that the line between love and hate are very fine ... and perhaps might not even exist at all.
