Synopsis

Library Journal’s Best Indie Ebook 2017, now available in audio for the very first time.Lady Amelia Brockett -- Meels to her family -- is having the Worst. Christmas. Ever. Dumped by her boyfriend and rejected from graduate school, her parents deem her the failure of the family.But when her older brother tries to cheer her with a trip to the races, a chance meeting with Arthur, the widowed playboy Prince of Wales, offers Amelia the opportunity to change her life -- and Britain's fortunes -- forever.Hunted by the press and haunted by Arthur's niece who fancies herself the kingdom's court witch, Amelia finds herself adrift in a sea of paparazzi, politics, and prophecy.Because while it may be the 21st century, Amelia lives in a not-so-united kingdom where the Wars of the Roses have never ended. In this world, the rivalry between the Yorkish north and Lancastrian south has threatened to pull Amelia's country apart for over 500 years.With few allies beyond her allergic-to-horses sister-in-law, her best friend who has a giant crush on the prince, and the young receptionist at Buckingham Palace that calls himself her Royalty Customer Service Representative, Amelia must navigate a perilous course to secure Arthur's love and become A Queen from the North.A full cast and sound production by Pagewater Publishing.

Goodreads review by Rosey

This book was really interesting. There was a lot going for it -- alternate history, compelling couple, royals, GEORGE. Ultimately the major problem I had with it was the age old trope of "I won't talk to you even though it will solve most of our problems!" Good communication is so key to good relati......more
