From the author of the bestselling California Dreamin' sweet romantic comedy series comes a new adventure in the small town of Hallmark Beach...
All I wanted to do was throw my brother a surprise early wedding.
As the prince of a small country, his wedding day has been eclipsed by pomp and circumstance—and he and his fiancée deserve more.
So when I find myself in a charming small town on the coast of California, I decide to plan them the perfect royal wedding without all the cameras and expectations.
Of course, my brother won't let me be alone in a strange town for long, so he sends along the country's top bodyguard—his best mate, Frederick.
Who ALSO happens to be the man I'm completely mad about. Not that either of them know that.
And when the townspeople who are helping me plan the wedding ASSUME that I'm the bride—and that Frederick's the groom—it makes the perfect cover story. They'll never suspect it's actually Prince Topher's nuptials I'm planning. We can keep this royal wedding under wraps from the press.
A fake engagement is the perfect plan.
But I didn't quite think through how it would be to pretend with him. To hug him. To share a room with him. To kiss him.
In fact, it's going to take all the mental and emotional strength I have to remember that this fake engagement to my brother's best friend ... isn't real. No matter how brilliantly we might fit together.
Beachside Kisses With My Bodyguard is Book 1 in the new Hallmark Beach small town sweet romantic comedy series, where a charming yet quirky town on the coast of California comes to life. Though Princess Chloe and Frederick first appeared in the California Dreamin' series, it's absolutely not necessary to have read those stories in order to enjoy this one. This dual-POV novel is for fans of flirtatious banter, brother's best friend stories, forbidden romance, royalty romance, fake engagements, and the beloved forced proximity trope, and it's filled with all the sizzling romantic tension and swoons possible without on-page intimacy.
The Hallmark Beach sweet romantic comedy series is for fans of Emma St. Clair, Jenny Proctor, Katie Bailey, and Katherine Center.
