My Christmas Prince

By Katherine Tomlinson and Katherine Moore

About My Christmas Prince
Amy Farwinkle has an unusual last name, an awkward relationship with her current employer, and a unique disdain for the hijinks of 21st century royalty.
Prince Antonio, crown prince of Iberia—a tiny monarchy nestled between Spain and Portugal—is a spoiled lapdog of a man whose connection to commoners is tenuous at best, and stretched thin by the royal scandal he's hiding from.

Gordon Ramsey—no relation to the chef—is chief of Antonio's security team and the only thing he likes about his current assignment—a glorified babysitting job—is that he gets to spend time with the Prince's dogs.

My Christmas Prince is a sweet, not-quite instalove story about expectations, dreams, misunderstandings, and Christmas.

You don't have to be royal to be a prince.
