Books 1-4 of The Young Royals series including Lord Darkly.
Book 1 - A Royal Engagement
The Spare is now the Heir
Alyssabeth never expected that one day she would be queen. But that all changed the day her father and brother were killed in a hunting accident.
Not much had changed in the small country in her four year absence, but there were two noticeable differences. Her brother's two best friends, Will Darkly and Jordan Wicks, had grown up into two very intriguing men. Jordan practically swept her off her feet from the moment she stepped off the plane, but Will was more reserved and his darkly intense interest in her gave her tingles.
Book 1.5 - Lord Darkly
There are always two sides to the story…
A Royal Engagement was told exclusively from Princess Alyssa's point of view…now see Will's side of the story.
The last few years have been hell for Will Darkly, Duke of Camphrey, Lord of Pemberton. First his mother died, then his father, leaving the estate destitute and we won't even go into how he and his sister were betrayed by someone they trusted. Now, just when he has finally landed on his feet, his best friend, the Crown Prince Jacob St. Benét, is killed in a hunting accident.
Jacob's death brings Will face to face with his childhood crush, the prince's sister, Alyssa, now the crown princess and heir apparent and she's even more beautiful than he remembered. She's also involved with the one man who could cause Will to commit murder.

But now the main reason for her flight from the US as turned up on the palace's doorstep and she is backed into a corner.

The only problem is that Priscilla finds Dominique insufferable and Dom isn't all that enamoured with Priscilla either.
The more time they spend together, the more Dom and Priscilla start to like each other, except that now Dom is caught in a difficult spot…should he tell Priscilla that he only asked her out because his brother wanted to date her sister, or should he keep quiet and hope she doesn't find out?
Book 4 - A Royal Expectation
Lady Jeanette Bower had always known what her life was going to look like. It had been drummed into her since she was a little girl. She would marry a titled gentleman and make him a splendid wife who was above reproach. It was what her mother had always wanted for her and Lady Jeanette always did what her mother wanted her to do. She was a good girl. The only problem was, Lady Jeanette didn't expect a six foot four Australian with sparkling tawny coloured eyes and a mischievous grin to walk into her life and show that there was perhaps another path for her to take.
