A Royal Holiday
Come visit Valleria this holiday season!
The season for stolen kisses and royal wishes is here. Catch up with the Vallerian royal family as they celebrate the holidays together … and apart.
The day of the Holiday Ball and her engagement party has finally dawned for current commoner and future princess Rebecca, love of Alexander, her fiancé and heir to the throne. However, when a royal scandal breaks just days before the ball and implicates Alex, will they recover in time to navigate through the ball and their first Christmas together?
After years of difficult holidays, English Lady Grace is ready to make some new memories with her prince, Marcello, but can she give him the one thing he wants most?
Charlotte, head baker for the Vallerian Royal Palace, has been working at a frantic pace leading up to the holidays all while recovering from a gunshot wound. When Nate decides to spirit Charlie away, will his surprise rise to the occasion, or fall flat as a bad cake?
Pregnant Princess Arianna has made a home in the small country of Brazenbourg with its prince, Finn, but her first holiday away from Valleria proves to be harder than expected. Can Finn pull off the impossible and grant Arianna her most fervent Christmas wish?
Come visit Valleria this holiday season, where surprises abound, dreams might come true, and a series of events plans to make for a very interesting New Year.
This novella features stories of four royal couples navigating their first holiday season together, a royal family that loves one another (even while they annoy each other), and a look behind fictional palace walls.
This is a standalone novella in the series with no cliffhanger, and features sexy scenes and swearing. Emotional trigger warning: discussion of past physical abuse.

Meet the Royals of Valleria, a country as old as the fall of the Roman Empire. The reigning king and patriarch rules with his beloved queen. Nine children, now grown, ranging from the eldest twins to the youngest son, watch over the country they love and care for. Bound by honour, duty, and loyalty, follow their lives as they fall in love, face tragedies, and triumph against the evils facing them.

I love how the author thought about a holiday novella foe the series. It makes it feel like tour there with the family celebrating. Even though there is a scandal I still loved it.

Christmas this year is full of surprises for everyone, babies, engagements, weddings even a scandal or two, but the Valleria family takes it all in strides!

So good to get this little update on each couple around the holidays. I also liked the little contention between Rebecca and Alex. Couples are going to have that, it is good to see how they do handling it.

This catches up on the four royal couples life. Lots of love scenes, swearing too much for me.
Did have some special moments, a scandal and a charming ending.
Only 165 pages.
