Shey Carlson is a rebel...with a cause. She grew up on the
wrong side of the tracks. But she worked her way to a
better future. She got a scholarship to college where she
met Parker and Cara. How a princess like Parker, and a
quiet, gentle soul like Cara became her best friends she’s
not sure, but she values their friendship and was eager to
share a partnership in Monarch’s Coffeehouse and Titles
Bookstore with them. Shey runs the coffeehouse and is
generous with the leftover food, feeding those who might
otherwise go hungry. She also volunteers in a literacy
program, teaching reading. Her life is full and she
doesn’t want anything to change. So when Parker’s father
sends her an unwanted royal fiancé, Shey runs
interference. She’ll keep the prince away from her friend
until he finally decides there’s nothing for him on Perry
Square and leaves.
Tanner Ericson, aka Prince Eduardo Matthewl Tanner Ericson
of Amar, a small neighboring country of Parker’s Eliason,
came to Erie, PA to collect his errant fiancée. He’s
decided no woman will ever truly love him. They’ve all
been after his money or his title. That’s why Parker will
be perfect. She’s a princess and has her own money. They
were friends when they were younger, and marrying her will
be good for both his country and hers. He didn’t expect to
be whisked away by a Harley riding redhead. Shey seems
bound and determined to keep him away from Parker. He
should be put-out, instead, he finds he enjoys spending
time with Shey. They snipe, the bicker...and they kiss.
Wow, do they kiss. Shey has stirred unexpected feelings in
him. He sees beyond her tough girl exterior and finds the
warm and generous heart underneath. She feeds those who
are hungry, teaches literacy and is a loyal friend.
Tanner discovers he doesn’t want a princess. He wants
Shey, a woman who is regal and generous...the woman he
loves. Problem is she’s just a bit stubborn. Tanner’s
going to have to work hard to convince her that their love
can not only work, but flourish!
