A sly grin is thrown my way. “Luk got in even later than I did, looking like he’d
been at the party of the century.”
“Ah. How very interesting. Who do you think he was cavorting with at such a late
hour?”
“I think the better question is, who wasn’t he cavorting around with?”
“Me.” I smile brightly. “And you. Our cavorting was limited to a very exclusive
party of two.”
“Is that what we were doing? Were we cavorting?”
We were falling in love, I think. Wonderfully, miserably, tragically, beautifully
falling in love. Or at least, I was. But I say, “Of course. You and I are natural cavorters.”
Bittersweet amusement sparkles in his eyes. “I thought our thing was to run
amuck.”
“That, too.” I gently touch the back of his hand. “We run amuck and cavort.”
The smile on his face softens. “Only with each other, though. We cavort best
when it’s with the other.”
“Shall we make a deal then? Shall we swear to the other that, when it comes time
to cavort, we must only do it together?” My words are light, so is my tone, but part of me
crumbles within, knowing what I jokingly request will never come to be.
Gravity invades his face as he shifts on the seat toward me, knees brushing up
against one another. I am trapped by his gaze, motionless with his leg pressed against
mine. “That’s a promise I can easily make.”
I am still as the golden princess before us when he slowly, gently pushes stray
hairs freshly escaped from my ponytail behind my ears. The feel of his fingers, light as
breezes against my cheeks, leaves me hot and desperate.
“Shall we shake on it?” I whisper.
The muscle within my chest ceases its rhythm when he shakes his head. He stares
at me then, as if he is unraveling all my atoms, rendering me exposed and vulnerable.
But then he leans forward, lips caressing one corner of my mouth and then the
other. “All the best agreements,” he murmurs, words just as soft as mine, “are sealed with
a kiss.”
I consist only of nothing but exposed nerve endings when I replicate his promise.
My lips tingle, my heart hammers, and tears swarm my closed eyes. “You have my
promise in return.”
He tilts his head up, mouth pressing against my temple before resting his forehead
against mine. “I’m going to hold you to that, Els.”
About ROYAL MARRIAGE MARKET:
Every decade, the world’s monarchs and their heirs secretly convene to discuss global politics and social issues—and arrange marriages between kingdoms.
Elsa may be the Hereditary Princess of Vattenguldia, but she finds the entire situation archaic and unsavory. While she wants what's best for her country, she isn't about to jump into an unwanted relationship—let alone a marriage—with a virtual stranger. Of course, her feelings matter little to her parents, whose wheeling and dealings over trade pacts and alliances achieved at her expense begin the moment they set foot in California for the Summit. So when a blindingly handsome royal runs into her, she doesn't hesitate to tell him there's no way she's marrying him.
Christian is all too happy to agree: no marriage. As the Hereditary Grand Duke of Aiboland, his main goal is to get through the summit without a bride being foisted on him. Which is why he suggests they help each other field potential intendeds. As Christian slowly gets to know Elsa, though, he realizes they have a lot more in common than just their feelings about the Royal Marriage Market. Only he can't fall for her, because royal or not, they're not meant for each other.
Elsa and Christian will have to evaluate matters of the heart verses those of state and crown, and decide whether or not tradition trumps love.
"The perfect royal romance." Nichole Chase, New York Times bestselling author.

Review
5 Crowns
I am so happy that I have absolutely no Royal blood in my family. I know, I know this was fiction, but there must be a grain of truth to this incredibly fun story. Every ten years The Royal Families get together in a secret meeting to arrange marriages for the future heirs of the world’s monarchs.
Hello, this isn’t the dark ages. We have free will. Elsa the Hereditary Princess of Vattenguldia is adamant that she is not going to be forced into the same kind of loveless marriage that her parents are in. Unfortunately her parents have already picked out her future husband. Not only that but, they have also arranged a marriage between her younger sister and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Aiboland, Christian. To make matters worse, Elsa and Christian maybe falling in love with each other. What’s wrong with that? You can’t have the rulers of two different countries get married. Honestly, I can see the problem with that.
Now all the parties involved come together to figure out how to bring the Monarchy into the 21st Century.
I loved this story. I have not had the opportunity to read anything by this author before, but I think I may have to seek out more of her books. This story is told from both Elsa’s and Christian’s point of view. I loved reading their reactions to one another, seeing how their relationship grew by each of them telling their own story.
