PLAYING THE ROYAL GAME

In the climactic finale of the USA Today?bestselling author?s royal romance series, a fairytale wedding isn?t the end of the story?it?s the beginning. It seemed like every girl?s dream: fall in love with a prince and be whisked off for your very own glamorous happy-ever-after. But there?s more to this royal fairy tale for Allegra Jackson and Prince Alessandro Santina. Allegra?s headline-grabbing family hardly prepared her for a life of public duty, and sinfully delicious Prince Alessandro has always seemed virtually allergic to the idea of settling down in Santa Maria. Out of all the flamboyant, beautiful women his name?s been linked with, the heir to the throne picked ordinary Allegra with the family from hell. Now everyone is watching to see if the tabloid?s couple of the year is really playing for keeps.
