Synopsis

Maxwell Jameson Trevor, prince of Lilaria, hates his royal role. Despising the limelight, he takes solace in his art studio and steers clear of any drama. But when one of the newly discovered royals passes away, Maxwell’s brother Alex asks him to break the news to the old man’s granddaughter. Though he hates to be the bearer of doom and gloom, he doesn’t want the poor girl to find out from the tabloids. For Maxwell knows all too well how devastating that could be.

Coming from a broken home and modest background, newly ordained Lady Meredith Thysmer has seized her chance to make a better life for herself and her son. She’s not afraid to use her best assets to get what she wants. But when the unpretentious yet devastatingly handsome Max delivers his news, her plans for the future come crashing to a halt. In the challenging days ahead, Max’s compassion, humor, and steadfast loyalty to Meredith and her son win her over. She quickly finds herself doing something she swore would never happen again: falling in love. And yet Maxwell still refuses to completely drop his guard. Somehow Meredith’s got to find a way to seduce this reluctant royal.

Interview with Chadwick

Nichole: Hello, Chadwick. I do have to say that I’m thrilled I get to start this series of interviews with you.

Chadwick: Why thank you. I’m happy to be here.

Nichole: I know you have a terribly busy schedule so I appreciate you taking the time. You may not be aware of this, but you have quite a few fans out there.

Chadwick: I do? I guess the lesson here is to never underestimate the effect of a good tie.

Nichole: Well you’re certainly no slouch. Are you ready for the first question?

Chadwick: Absolutely.

Nichole: Well, people would like to know how you and Daniel are doing. Is everything finally smoothed out with his parents?

Chadwick: Pfft. That? They can either get over it or not. It’s their decision. We’ve made ours.

Nichole: So you and Daniel are happy?

Chadwick: We’re perfect. Great, actually. I mean, it wouldn’t hurt him to get a haircut, but it’s his head. We’re just the unfortunate souls stuck looking at it. Other than that everything is great.

Nichole: So, you’re still the Duchess of Rouseaus’ personal assistant?

Chadwick: What else would I be doing? Sitting around a manor waiting for Daniel to get home? No. I like to be doing, getting things accomplished. Can you imagine me relaxing? No, I didn’t think so.

Nichole: The next question has to do with your obvious organizational abilities. Do you have tips for those of us not gifted with that particular skill?

Chadwick: Stick it notes. I have a very precise system of colored sticky notes that I use in my office. I transfer everything to my electronic calendar which is synced on all of my devices, but there is something reassuring about physical sticky notes. I also set alarms for things so that I’m never late. Yesterday I set thirty alarms.

Nichole: Thirty? You are a busy man. Okay, last question. What is the most ridiculous or embarrassing situation you’ve found yourself in since becoming Samantha’s personal assistant?

Chadwick: I could write a book about the sticky situations that Lady Samantha has thrust upon me. I once had to explain why the duchess was barefoot at a meeting with a sultan. There was a large amount of confusion which resulted in the Sultan leaving the palace with a golf club and the flowers from a vase outside of the Queens study. In other words, I rarely have a boring day.

Nichole: Now that sounds like an interesting story. Thank you for coming to talk with us. I always a love to get to hang out with you.

Chadwick: My pleasure.
