About ROYAL MESS
Available May 8th
From award-winning author Jenna Sutton comes the story of two princes who discover that falling in love is messy…
Prince Leo’s icy demeanor has earned him an amusing nickname—the Polar Prince. Unfortunately, the king doesn’t see the humor. If Leo wants to secure the throne of Alsania, he must improve his image. Participating in an organ donation campaign seems like a good start. He expects to donate his organs on his deathbed, so he’s surprised to be matched with a complete stranger who needs his help now.
Tessa Lulach hates to admit it, but she’s a damsel in distress. When a handsome prince offers to save her with a hunk of his liver, she joyfully accepts. She can’t wait to feel like herself again and return to her beloved flower shop. Instead, her identity is revealed, and the quiet life she loves is turned upside down.
As Leo and Tessa deal with the nosy public and ruthless paparazzi, she realizes the Polar Prince is much warmer than he seems—scorching hot, in fact. He willingly gave her a part of his liver, but can he give her his whole heart?
*****
Everyone loves Prince Marco of Alsania, despite his reckless antics … or maybe because of them. So why does sexy schoolteacher Cassie Lulach prefer a boring investment banker over him? Wounded by her indifference, he has an erotic encounter with a masked woman at a royal ball who reminds him of the one he really wants.
After another failed relationship, Cassie is frustrated with immature, inconsiderate guys. Wanting to escape reality, she attends a masquerade ball and finds herself alone with a masked stranger. For the first time in her life, she acts on impulse, only to end up pregnant and absolutely clueless about the identity of her baby’s father.
When Marco learns of Cassie’s pregnancy and her plans to raise the baby alone, he promises to be there for her, hoping she’ll finally see him as more than just a playboy prince. But then he discovers she’s the woman from the masquerade ball and panics. Will the truth destroy his chance to win over Cassie, or will he convince her that they can have their own happily ever after?

Read an Excerpt from ROYAL MESS
“I wanted to let you know
that I’m going to do a media tour to talk about my experience as a living
donor,” Leo says.
Surprised by his
announcement, I emit an involuntary “Oh!”
The royal family is
constantly in the news. From the king’s work in parliament and the queen’s
charitable efforts to Prince Leo’s diplomatic trips abroad and Prince Marco’s
latest antics, there’s plenty of fodder for the media.
“People are curious, and I’d
rather they hear the real story from me instead of”—he makes air quotes with
both hands—“an unnamed source close to the prince. Who knows? Maybe I can
persuade more people to be living donors.”
“That’d be amazing if you
could, Leo. There aren’t enough donors, living or deceased.”
He leans forward. “How
would you feel about participating in the media tour ... coming forward as a
transplant recipient?”
It takes a moment for his
words to register. When they do, my whole body recoils. “I don’t know...”
I trail off, unable to
articulate my feelings. If my donor liver came from a normal person instead of
Leo, I wouldn’t hesitate to tell everyone my story. But Leo’s royal blood—his
position as the future king of Alsania—complicates things. The thought of being
stalked by paparazzi makes it hard for me to breathe.
“Hey.” One of Leo’s big
hands curves over my knee. “Listen to me, Tessa.” He squeezes lightly. “You
don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. It’s your decision.”
I shrug uncomfortably. “I
need some time to think about it. Is that okay?”
“Of course it’s okay.
He drops his hand from my
knee and rises from the chair. His broad chest blocks my view of the rest of
the room, and I have to tilt my head back to see his eyes.
To my surprise, he moves closer
and cups his hands around my face. His skin is hot and supple like the leather
seats in a sports car in the summer. He strokes the pads of his thumbs across
my cheekbones, and that simple touch spreads heat throughout my body.
“Look at you.” His voice is
deep and husky. “Your cheeks are so pink.”
Pink from desire. Pink from
excitement.
One of his thumbs cruises
down to my mouth and skims across my bottom lip. “And your lips...”
I must be having an
out-of-body experience. Or maybe I’m in a medically induced coma and this is
just a hallucination. I don’t know how else to explain what’s happening.
“What about my lips?”
“They’re pink too,” he
whispers, “like those peonies you dropped.”
I wrap my hands around his
wrists, not to push him away but to keep him close. “Leo...”
Kiss me. Please. Now.
A groan rumbles in his
chest, and that rough sound creates an ache between my legs. Sliding his hand
into my hair, he palms my head and brings his mouth to mine.
