I love writing about princes in stories – I’ve only written two, Max and the Prince which is a classic Prince/Bodyguard story, and The Christmas Prince, which is all about a lonely prince and a lonely historian…
One of my favorite ever movies is Roman Holiday (princess slips her bodyguards, discovers Rome, discovers love – Audrey Hepburn & Gregory Peck). One day I’d love to write something like that… we’ll see 🙂
Christmas Prince
The love story of a lonely prince, the man who steals his heart, and the magic of a snowy castle at Christmas.
Labeled as a playboy Prince, Raphael has done many crazy things in his life but commissioning a new museum to employ a stranger as a curator may top them all. For him, the game began in London when he outbid Marc at a Sotheby’s auction, but what started as a misguided attempt at flirting ends when Marc confronts him and tells him home truths that cut deep. No one has ever stood up to Raphael before, and it’s enough to have him questioning his role as the youngest son of an ancient royal family. He wants to be a better man, and if he happens to fall in love on the way there, then that’s just perfect.
The threat of losing his job means this could be the worst Christmas of Marc’s life. Not only has he been outbid on a piece of history to a prince with more money than sense, but his career at the British Museum is now on the line. When the same prince offers him a dream position, his first instinct is to refuse out of principle, but he knows he can never turn down being part of a team that reveals centuries of hidden history. His professionalism turns to horror when he discovers that he’s not part of a team at all and that Raphael—call me Rafe—is determined to shadow his every move. Hours alone in the castle archives start frosty, but when the ice melts, the magic of Christmas could lead to love.
Christmas Prince is a standalone, opposites attract, Christmas M/M romance with a lonely prince, a stunning castle in the snow, a touch of magic, and a beautiful happily ever after.
More info →Max and the Prince
Death visits college and a bodyguard just has to keep the prince alive, only falling in love is not in the job description.
Bodyguard Max Connery is used to being mistaken for being younger than he is. Being carded every time he buys a beer is usual. Even though he’s just turned twenty-eight and has two tours in Afghanistan as a pilot under his belt. When a threat is made on the life of a prince attending University in the UK, Max is the perfect choice to blend in with students and to keep Prince Lucien safe. Even if it means joining the swim team to be by his side.
But, when death visits the University, abruptly this job is a long way past keeping the prince happy and safe. Instead, Max has to keep Lucien alive.

Like a good book, lots of plot twists and turns in the story lines. One of my many favorite old movies is McClintock, Gone With The Wind, Mary Poppins, The Wizard Of OZ, The Dirty Harry old movies

I love old movies. From Gone With the Wind, to Roman Holidays, to Guess >Who’s Coming to Dinner, to Barefoot in the Park, I can never resist whenever they are on TV. OH, and thanks to my dad watching them endlessly when I was a kid, I love old Western movies (they are called Western in Italy, maybe they are cowboy movies in the US? or just Spaghetti Western as those were the ones filmed in Italy) like The good and the bad and the ugly, The Magnificent Seven…
