Answer: Emma Chase

Prince Nicholas Frederick Pembrook is the younger brother of Prince Henry, who was the lead character of the first book ("Royally Screwed") in this "Royally" romance series by Emma Chase. Prince Nicholas had been dubbed the "Playboy Prince" by the media because of his rather carefree gallivanting (how very unroyal-like! Gasp!), but soon enough circumstances call for him to step up and take on some royal family responsibilities.

In the hopes that he can foster a more mature image, he agrees to star in a reality TV show called "The Royal Edition" whereby he will choose a bride from amongst a variety of candidates appearing on the show.

He's actually not crazy about the idea at first, but when Sarah Mirabelle Zinnia Von Titebottum enters the picture, things change. Sarah works on the show as a historian/consultant, and what appeals to Nicholas is her wit and her not getting all giddy about his royal status like the contestants on the show are.

His feelings for Sarah grow. As they interact, Nicholas is able to get in touch with his more serious side. Pressure from the show complicates things, though.

Answer: Jen DeLuca

Here's a romance novel with a Renaissance Faire background. Picture barmaids, wenches, gallant knights and all those sorts entertaining the visitors. April Parker lives in Willow Creek, a small quaint town, and she's looking at being an empty nester in her near future.

She's a single mother who teaches high school. She has been focused on providing stability in her and her daughter Caitlin's life, and now Caitlin will soon be leaving for college. Then there's Mitch Malone, a gym teacher and regular performer at the nearby Renaissance Faire; in that role he wears a kilt and wields a sword as his Highlander character.

He's a lot looser a person than the more strait-laced April, but he asks her a favor - to help him out with some things at the Renaissance Faire - and in exchange he will help her get her house ready to be put up for sale.

They become friends in the process, and April loosens up, getting in touch with her playful side. And conversely, Mitch starts to think about the more grown-up serious aspects of life, like settling down and building a future. You see where this is going.
