He's a playboy. A jerk. Second in line for the throne. My fiancé's younger brother. And he's in love with me.

They don't write fairy tales about the awkward girl from Missouri.

Yet the tabloids sure like to write about me, especially since I'm engaged to the billionaire prince of an island nation in the Mediterranean. It was supposed to be the story of how a math nerd became a glittering princess with a tiara in the royal wedding of the century.

A modern-day fairy tale romance.

Yet when my fiancé, Prince Phillip, cheats on me and breaks my heart, it's the royal scandal of the century.

Fortunately, Phillip's bad boy brother Eric offers me a vacation to hide from all the cameras on the other side of the world.

He says there's no strings attached.

I take him up on it.

The more time I spend with him, the more I realize that Eric isn't the man I thought he was. He looks at me like I'm the only woman in the world. And I'm starting to look at him in a different light.

Perhaps I can find my happily ever after—only this time with Eric, the one who fell in love with me first.

But if there's one thing the press loves, it's a love triangle, and when Phillip finds me to give him a second chance, nothing can stop what comes next.

My name is Cara Van Meter. And this is my fairy tale.

The Royal Trade is a complete, *stand-alone novel*, inspired by the author's unabashed fantasy about William and Harry fighting over her, complete with an HEA. This contemporary romance is the perfect beach read for those looking for just the right amount of steam and a cute couple who find each other despite the odds. Oh, and you'll love Eric's valet.
