Operation Marriage...

Prince Quinton Corlow’s life was turned upside down the day his divorce was filed and his military papers were executed. Seven years later, the embittered soldier returns, only to walk straight back into his ex-wife’s life!

But when Quinn discovers he’s still married to the one woman who could claim his heart, he realizes he must tackle the past for the future he wants...the future Anais wants, too. But can he convince his Cinderella bride to fight for their love?

Quinn stood at the podium in front of a

sea of reporters, cameras rolling, with a

patience she couldn’t believe he possessed.

But the Playboy Prince wasn’t smiling. Not joking. Not

charming them into letting him get away with murder

“Today I want to speak to you about my wife, Dr. Anais Hayes—or, as she’s been known since returning to Corrachlean, Dr. Anna Kincaid.”

Her anxiety beast reared up in her belly and started

chewing.

“Oh, sweet mercy, don’t do this, Quinn,” Anais

whispered.

“What’s he doing?” her mom asked, the question also

whispered.

“We’ve never had a divorce, and we’re not going to have

one now. I’m asking you to give us the space we need

to fit our lives back together. I’ll do whatever I need to

protect her. I came home to fulfill my duty to my family,

and she is my family, so I’m starting with my wife. If we

have to leave Corrachlean to have any kind of peace

together, to have the family we were always meant to

have, we’ll leave. I don’t want that to happen.”

“Did he just threaten to abdicate?” her mom asked.

“He’s not going to be King...” Anais murmured, even

though she’d heard his intention clearly. “He can’t

abdicate, but I think maybe he’s threatened to renounce his title.”

Why in the name of heaven would he do that?

He seemed done talking, and once again stood stoically

for the cameras, waiting.

Then the questions began...

Dear Reader (#u7354719b-6721-5535-9380-5ea87b8c1749),

I am fascinated by the concept of royalty—even if it also kind of horrifies me (I’m American—sorry). I love the drama, the history, the pageantry... And I also kind of hate myself for it.

This is probably something to do with the reason why my royalty stories always end up involving duty versus desire concepts. It’s my duty as an American to see the world as ‘everyone is created equal’—and I do—but I also desire the fairytale. What can you do?

This book is probably one of the hardest I’ve ever written because I had to put it down in the middle to write a different book, then go back to this one... And then pretty much rewrite it. A couple of times. But sometimes characters won’t let you go, and I couldn’t put Quinn and Anais away without finishing their story.

Actually, even after finishing I’m having a hard time letting go. Quinn’s still talking to me louder than my new hero. And let me say—even though I know it makes me sound insane—I’m sort of hoping he moves out of my head and into the reader’s head soon so Gabriel (my new hero) has a chance. If Quinn shows up on your mental doorstep, good luck! He’s housetrained, but a bit of a handful...
