Royally Matched (Royally #2)(79)

And as I sing every word, lyrics about forever not being enough time and wearing out I love you’s, about love showing the way and promises to sing to her every night, I look at Sarah the whole time and she doesn’t take her eyes off me for a moment.

She’s already nodding when the last guitar notes ring out, when I leave the stage and stand before her and sink down, not on one knee but two—and I offer her my mother’s ring—a flawless, oval diamond upon a bed of glittering smaller diamonds, set in a shiny platinum band.

“I love you, Sarah. You already know that, but I promise to tell you and show you every single day, just the same. I promise to keep you safe, always, so you’re never afraid to be bold and brave…even when it scares the hell out of me. I will cherish your sweetness, and be inspired by your strength and kindness. And I promise you a life filled with adventure and excitement and fun, and enough laughter and love to fill the pages of a thousand books.”

I smile up at her, my throat tight with emotion and my heart close to bursting.

“Will you marry me, Sarah?”

And with happy tears streaming down her face, my beautiful girl goes down on her knees with me, and she takes my face in her hands and whispers, “Yes, Henry. Yes, I’ll marry you. Yes, yes, yes, yes . . .”

I pull her against me, and we seal our words with a long kiss. And the claps and cheers of those who know us best and love us most fill the air.

And that, that’s the story you won’t see on television or read in the history books. The tale of an unruly prince who found the queen of his heart, and learned how to be a King.

Royally Endowed



A boy from the wrong side of the tracks...

But these days he covers his tattoos with a respectable suit. He’s charismatic, good looking, smart and trustworthy—any girl would be proud to bring him home to her family.

But there’s only one girl he wants.

She’s an angel on earth, his living, breathing fantasy. For years he’s known her, sometimes laughed with her, once shared a pint with her...he would lay down his life for her.

But she doesn’t see him—not really.

A girl endowed with royal relations . . .

She dreams of princes and palaces, but in her quest for happily ever after, harsh truths are learned: castles are drafty, ball gowns are a nuisance, and nobility doesn’t equal noble intentions.

In the end, she sees her true heart’s love may just be the handsome, loyal boy who’s been beside her all along.
