Royal Pain (His Royal Hotness 1)

“I’ll marry you,” I answer. “But only if you promise me a happy ever after. You are a prince, after all.”

“Oh, sweetheart, I’ll promise you more than that. I’ll promise a happy, crazy, messy, funny, real ever after.”

I throw my arms around his neck then and pull his mouth back down to mine. “And I’ll promise you one right back.”

For my mother

Acknowledgments

This book is the result of a fun afternoon brainstorming session between my amazing editor Sue Grimshaw and myself and I can never thank her enough. She’s the best editor, friend, cheerleader and support system a girl could ever ask for and I’m grateful every day that I get to work with her.

I also need to thank Gina Wachtel, who is truly an inspiration and who I am so, so excited to work with. She really does know everything and I’m honored that after all this time she’s still buying my books and steering my career. Thank you so, so much!

I want to thank everyone else at Random House, too—Matthew Schwartz, Erika Seyfried, Madeleine Kenney, Penelope Haynes and Lynn Andreozzi. I am so, so lucky to work with the best team in the business and I’m more grateful than you will ever know.

As always, I must thank my agent, Emily Sylvan Kim, who is one of my best friends as well as the greatest agent ever. Thanks for everything you do for me. There are no words for how much I adore you, xoxoxo

And finally, I have to thank my mom, who was so patient and helpful while I wrote this book. I love you, Mom, and am so grateful to have you!!!
