A Princess Tale #1
The Royal Spy
A Princess Tale Book 1
If only deciding who you are was easy. For Princess Katie, making her choice is quite a challenge, made worse when her two worlds collide. If she chooses to be a princess she'll be a failure in the eyes of her father, but if she chooses to remain a spy she'll miss out on the life she was born to live. Under the guise of a princess who is there to win the heart of the prince, she is sent to spy on a neighboring country. But this mission proves different from the ones that she is used to. She's seen secret passages, and betrayal but she's usually hiding in the shadows, not having tea with the queen or bantering with the prince.
If she had spent more time as a princess maybe this quest wouldn't be so hard.
Excerpt:
I pushed myself up and nearly stopped breathing again. The man who I had just knocked to the ground was none other than Prince Jarin. Definitely not the shadow, I thought. “That’s it, you—” the prince began as he pushed himself up and raised his fist. “Stop!” I guarded my face with both hands. “Katie?” “Ah…hello, fancy meeting you here,” I stammered.

About the author
Cassie M. Shiels
19 books58 followersCassie M. Shiels is a multi-genre author of several books, such as Caught
in the Middle, The Royal Spy, and A Simple Christmas Kiss. She was born in
Idaho but loves living in Southern Utah, where it’s warm. As a kid, she was
often found reading on the school bus, before she did her homework, and late
into the night. (Wait, she still does that!) In middle school, she determined
that she loved creating stories as much as she enjoyed reading them and
decided to become an author. She consistently works on that dream with
every story idea that bounds into her head. She says that stories are a part of
her, and if you ask her, she often writes more than one book at a time, and the
same goes for reading; she’s usually reading a paperback, an e-book, and an
audiobook so that no matter what she’s doing, she has access to a good story.
Besides writing, she enjoys collecting dragons, crafting, raising her five
kids with her husband, and using random items as bookmarks. She loves
writing heartfelt, wholesome, and thrilling sweet contemporary romance,
romantic suspense, and young adult speculative fiction full of swoon-worthy
moments and heart-pounding kisses. For more visit her website: www.cassiemshiels.com
