American Rebecca Porter was never one for fairy tales. Her twin sister, Lacey, has always been the romantic who fantasized about glamour and royalty, fame and fortune. Yet it's Bex who seeks adventure at Oxford and finds herself living down the hall from Prince Nicholas, Great Britain's future king. And when Bex can't resist falling for Nick, the person behind the prince, it propels her into a world she did not expect to inhabit, under a spotlight she is not prepared to face. The pressures are almost too much to bear, as Bex struggles to reconcile the man she loves with the monarch he's fated to become.

"In their first adult novel, authors Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan take on a story of romance and rivalries inspired by today's most talked-about royal couple: Will and Kate. "If I'm Cinderella today, I dread who they'll think I am tomorrow. I guess it depends on what I do next." American Rebecca Porter was never one for fairy-tales. Her twin sister Lacey was always the romantic, the one who daydreamed of being a princess. But it's adventure-seeking Bex who goes to Oxford and meets dreamy Nick across the hall - and thus Bex who accidentally finds herself in love with the eventual heir to the British throne. Nick is everything she could have imagined, but Prince Nicholas has unimaginable baggage: grasping friends, a thorny family, hysterical tabloids tracking his every move, and a public that expected its future king to marry a native. On the eve of the most talked-about wedding of the century, Bex reflects on what she's sacrificed for love -- and exactly whose heart she may yet have to break.""--

"After a scandalous secret turns their fairy-tale wedding into a nightmare, Rebecca "Bex" Porter and her husband, Prince Nicholas, are in self-imposed exile. The public is angry. The Queen is even angrier. Cutting themselves off from friends and family, and escaping the world's judgmental eyes, feels like the best way tor protect their all-consuming romance. But when a crisis forces them back to London, the Band-Aid they'd placed over their problems starts to peel at the edges. Together, Bex and Nick have to face emotional wreckage they left behind: with the Queen, with the world, and with Nick's brother, Freddie, whose sins may not be so easily forgiven. Brimming with wit, charm, and characters as colorful as the headlines that haunt them, The Heir Affair is an exploration of what happens when "happily ever after" isn't so easily found." page [4] of cover
