A theme park “princess” meets a single dad…who turns out to be a real prince!
Enjoy the delightful royal romance from acclaimed author Teri Wilson and Hallmark Publishing.

Lacey found her dream job: playing a princess character at a popular fairytale theme park in sunny southern Florida. Her diamond tiara might not be real, but the smiles of the children she meets every day certainly are. It’s just too bad that her ex-boyfriend was never impressed with her career choice.

Henry, the crown prince of Bella-Moritz, is trying to fulfill his young daughter’s birthday wish: to be a normal girl with a normal life. That’s why they’re pretending to be ordinary tourists at an American amusement park. Henry lost his wife four years ago, and he’s been going through the motions ever since. But could a meeting with a make-believe princess lead to real love?

This enchanting romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Cucumber Dill Tea Sandwiches.

Ratings and reviews

Audio/Ebook Review: Once Upon a Royal Summer: A delightful royal romance from Hallmark Publishing by Teri Wilson I lost my heart but I found my smile. Wilson pulled me into a confection of sweetness sprinkled with a hint of spice. Poignant, humorous and irresistible come together to create a savory story of heartache and hope. Once Upon a Royal Summer speaks to the dreamer that lives inside of every heart and soul.

This is a delightful book that made me smile throughout it. It's charming and sweet in all the best ways. Lacey is a theme park princess who meets Rose, a real princess, and her father, Henry, a very charming real prince. Truly, I don't think this book could have been more contrived or unrealistic, but that just made me love it more. It's over the top, but the perfect escape from real life. This grandmother thoroughly enjoyed every page in this book, but you could feel safe letting your teen read it. This novel is a delicious and sweet treat - like the best Hallmark movie in book form. If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. Put this at the top of your TBR list. While this is the first book I've read by this author, it won't be the last.

When an amusement park princess meets a real-life prince, there's a spark, but fairy tales don't come true, do they? For one week, "Princess Sweet Pea" Lacey is the private tour guide for Prince Henry and his delightful daughter, Princess Rose. A magical time spent together, Henry and Rose could live life without the weight of royal duties as they are treated to an adventurous time by Lacey in the fantasy kingdom in a theme park. But all good things must come to an end, until an invitation to a royal ball! The attraction felt real, an almost-kiss, and a trip to the kingdom of Bella-Moritz, complete with a borrowed dress from Lacey's "fairy godmother." But was it real, were the feelings mutual, and do commoners really meet a prince and have the Happy Ever After? This sweet romance delivers on dreams coming true in a modern storybook tale, if only you believe in love, kindness, and possibilities. **received an ARC from Netgalley**
