If The Princess Diaries 2, Succession, The Crown, and The Hating Game had a torrid affair and somehow produced a book… it would be this one.
Love & Other Royal Scandals is what happens when royal secrets collide with revenge—with banter, betrayal, and one bastard prince at the center of it all.
Sebastian Hawthorne believed in one fundamental truth: if you orchestrate a political coup without technically committing treason, you deserve a damn party.
Too bad he also just found out he’s the illegitimate son of a dead king. Which puts a bit of a damper on the champagne.
Now he’s slightly hungover, inconveniently royal, and highly motivated to ruin the man who raised him like a son while treating him like a pawn.
Enter Harper Sinclair: brilliant investigative journalist, chronic overachiever, and professional thorn in his side. She’s also not his biggest fan—he may have killed one of her stories. (He apologized. Badly.)
They’re not partners. They’re not friends. And they are absolutely not flirting—despite the late-night strategy meetings, the mutual loathing with a side of longing, and a royal wedding looming like a ticking bomb.
In a palace built on secrets, the most dangerous thing they’re hiding… might be how they feel about each other.
Full of sharp banter, slow-burn tension, and late-night terrace confessions, Love & Other Royal Scandals is a romantic political comedy where enemies become lovers (and possibly co-conspirators), power is personal, and no one escapes unscathed.
Perfect for fans of The Royal We, Red, White & Royal Blue, and morally complicated men in excellent coats, this novel delivers wit, heart, and emotional devastation in equal measure.
This book is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone.
