About this ebook

 This prince must decide. Duty or his heart?

*A Barrum, Ks Novel*

Hadrian Drake needs a vacation. As a celebrity chef on Pasta Prince, he’s television royalty. Or so everyone said. Only a few, like his overbearing assistant, knows the truth, that he really is royalty—a prince from the island of Koros. 

And sometimes, even a prince has to get away to Vegas for the weekend. Have some fun. He’s looking for a poker table, not a girl with blue hair. 

But holy hell, she’s mesmerizing. 

Sydney Martinson has to get the hell out of Barrum—especially when her ex will not leave her alone. A trip to Vegas, for a trade show that her work paid for is perfect. Though even in Vegas, she feels eyes on her. 

Then she bumps into the most gorgeous guy she’s ever seen. He awakens parts of her that she thought had died after the divorce. 

Suddenly the trade show isn’t that important, but Hadrian is. Even if he’s a tv celebrity, she feels so good around him. In all the ways. 

Then Hadrian’s assistant tracks him down with dreadful news. One cousin is dead, another is missing. 

Hadrian is the Crown Prince of Koros—the last job in the world he wanted. 

Worse, he and Sydney are next in line on a killer’s list.

Ratings and reviews

This is an enjoyable and intriguing story! I loved the suspense in this captivating read. A definite fairy tale but I loved the cooking twist. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, not so much.

About the author

USA Today and NY Times bestselling author Candice Gilmer leads a dangerous double life as a mommy and a writer. In between boo-boo healing and fixing broken toys, she writes stories usually to the tune of children’s television shows.

Her books range from vampires and werewolves to mermaids and fairies to contemporary and fairy tale romances–a huge variety, just like her broad, geek-girl heart. She adores Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, and DC, (you CAN love them all), and her hero will always be Captain America.

Growing up in the Midwest, Candice stays close to her family, especially the ones with basements when the tornadoes come around.

All in all, she stays very busy, but really, she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Well, maybe a little less children’s television.
