'Lucas Andino had been summoned by the king…the only problem? He needed a wife…or at least a fiancée, which wouldn’t have been a problem except…his girlfriend just broke up with him.
'In desperation, he turned to his best friend, Francesca—or Frankie as she was known to, well, everyone.
'Frankie needed a topic for her sociology dissertation, and she needed it yesterday. When Lucas suggested they become fake engaged so he could answer the summons of the king, Frankie saw the opportunity for what it was. Who else would have unfettered access to a monarch for their dissertation? Who else could do an up close and personal examination of an emerging nation?
'Besides, Frankie would do anything for Lucas. They were best friends for a reason and if he needed her, then she was his girl. So what if she had a tiny crush on him? They were both going into it with their eyes wide open. No one was going to get hurt.'

'Duchess Sophia Dellis, Archontissa of Kalon, needed a date for the upcoming Kabiero Royal Ball. The man she planned to take as her date just dropped her for someone with a higher social media profile. Not that Sophia was heartbroken. Nico was a sweet guy, or at least he was until he turned into a fame monster—something that wouldn’t have even happened if Sophia never gone out with him in the first place. Now she was left with six weeks to find someone to fill his place on her dance card and no prospects in sight…that was until she saw Ethan across a crowded club. He was completely unsuitable, but her best friend, Frankie, dared her to turn him into a Duke Incognito.
'Ethan Samuels was minding his own business, working behind the bar in the hottest new club on Kalopsia when two members of the new Kabiero Royal court approached him with an outrageous proposal. How could he turn down a duchess? Plus, he would get an adventure that a simple guy from Australia would never have even dreamed of; learn how to navigate the world of wealth and royalty, attend a royal ball on the arm of a beautiful woman, and get a foot in the door of a new career on a super yacht. It was a no-brainer as far as he was concerned.
'They both knew what the deal was. Sophia would teach Ethan everything he needed to pass as a duke, and Ethan would get the experience he needed to break into a new career. It was a business arrangement. No one was supposed to fall in love.' (Publication summary)

'Lord Evan Anastas has lived as a recluse most of his life...with good reason. He shares the same surname as the country's worst traitors. But the king has decided it's time for him to stop hiding. It's time for him to step into his royal duties and that means getting up close and personal with the press.
'But the king probably didn't mean this up close and personal.
'On a diplomatic trip to Lemnos, Evan meets Brooklyn and unbeknownst to him, she is a member of the very press he has been avoiding.
'To be fair, Brooklyn doesn't know who he is at first.
'She is a struggling travel blogger from New Zealand and reluctantly agreed to do a job for her previous employer. She didn't know it would lead to her spending a month in a castle on an island she had never really heard of. Or that meeting the reclusive count would upend her life.' (Publication summary)
