Forbidden Kiss with the Prince

Sun, sea and royal scandal!

Jilted archaeologist Gemma is burying her head in the sand—of a beautiful Greek island! Excavating an ancient temple is the ideal distraction from the ruins of her relationship. And working alongside handsome local Niko can’t hurt… Until she unearths his true identity as newly appointed Crown Prince Nikolaos! Gemma knows he’s grappling with his new role, and his grief. Yet, she can’t fight their attraction—or his kiss… But as journalists dig for details, will their off-limits connection be consigned to history before it’s begun?

Reunion with Her Highland Rival

Off-screen romance, take two…

TV actress Allegra Stark’s steamy relationship with co-star Finn McGregor was the stuff of legends—on-screen. In reality, untameable bachelor Finn never seemed to realise that Allie’s feelings for him were more than just fiction. It was a humiliation so painful she abandoned show business. Twenty years on, she can’t resist the chance to acquire the Scottish castle where the series filmed—only to find she’s bidding against the man who broke her heart! With rivalry simmering and long-buried attraction resurfacing, could their second take make the final cut?
