Book Blitz & Giveaway: The Backup Princess [Royally Kissed 01] by Kate O’Keeffe!

Excerpt!

I turn to see a man in a red buttoned-up jacket, a blue sash crossing his body from shoulder to hip, his stride strong and confident. His face looks like the image in Chloe’s magazine, extremely handsome with a head of dark hair, a strong jaw covered in a cropped beard, and the kind of olive skin I always wished I had instead of my pale skin prone to freckles. Although now that I look at him, his nose is red and swollen and looks like he might have been—

Wait.

His nose looks like it’s been…punched?

Ice cold seeps across my chest.

It was him. It was Prince Alexander in the closet!

I freeze, every nerve in my body on high alert.

He stops to speak with someone and although I wouldn’t have thought it possible, he looks so much more handsome in person. Dangerously handsome.

And angry. Definitely angry.

I swallow, my mouth suddenly dry. The guy in the closet was Prince Alexander. The guy I went NHL in a bad mood on, who I thought was a murderer or worse, is in fact the Crown Prince of Ledonia, heir to the throne, brother to my new friend.

And the worst thing of all? He’s heading our way.

When a Texas gal punches a prince instead of curtsying, you know this isn’t your grandmother’s fairy tale.

Taking the bull by the horns is child’s play compared to ruling Malveaux. Yet here I am, a Texas girl turned princess, swapping tacos for a tiara.

Then I meet Europe’s most eligible bachelor, the irritatingly handsome Prince Alexander, and accidentally deck him instead of curtsying.

Oops.

I’d feel bad if he wasn’t such a self-satisfied jerk.

Now, I’m racing against a royal clock that ticks with the urgency of a preening peacock, trying not to let down my newfound country or my own wild heart. Alexander? He’s a walking contradiction, with a smirk that heats my blood and eyes that tell tales of a depth I didn’t expect.

Decisions aren’t exactly my rodeo, but this time, my choice could cost me my new crown—or lead to a love story that rewrites my happily ever after.

Will this Texas girl rise to the royal challenge, or is this one fairytale destined to end with the slipper never found?
