They’re
setting fire to the sheets, but a romance between an out and proud hockey star
and a closeted playboy prince could end up burning them both.
Marquis Miller might be one of the NHL’s best players, single, wealthy, and
open about his sexuality, but he knows his future lies in taking over the reins
of the family’s multimillion-dollar company after retirement. Jumping on the
family jet, he heads to Europe, tasked with schmoozing a prince into accepting
his company’s bid on a significant castle renovation. Assuming he’d be faced
with a dusty old monarch well into his dotage, Marquis is stunned to find out
that Kaleb is a young, sophisticated, beautiful man with an impressive work ethic,
to-die-for eyes, and a certain flair that captures Marquis’s attention.
Dragging the royal palace into the twenty-first century is one battle after
another for the King’s youngest son. Juggling renovations, his royal duties,
and attempting to reverse his former playboy prince reputation is impossible
when no one seems to want to give Kaleb a chance. His chaotic life takes yet
another turn when an American hockey player arrives at the castle to discuss a
renovation project. Marquis is the antithesis of Kaleb’s newly minted,
responsible outlook on life, a jock, a player, willing to take chances.
Although the forbidden sex is hot, Kaleb is not ready to turn on his family
responsibilities for a pretty smile and a smart mouth.
For both men, family is everything, and romance will always come in second
until they open their hearts to love.

He bowed and extended a hand. “Marquis Miller,” he introduced himself, and I took his hand and shook it firmly. He didn’t let go. I didn’t let go. There was something there. A flicker of appreciation in his expression, the tip of his tongue wetting his lower lip, his eyes widening, and I didn’t have to wonder about his appreciation or his inclination.
If he could read my mind, he’d know that he ticked every single one of my boxes, and the image of him lying naked, with all that beautiful dark skin on cool silk sheets, sprawled and waiting for me, had all the blood in my body rushing south, and I was getting hard. The fuck?
“Prince…” I stopped. “I’m Prince Kaleb. Call me Kaleb.”
Finally, he released my hand. I swear if he offered to fuck me, I’d be dropping my pants and leaning over the nearest surface.
“I’m here from Miller & Miller.”
“Uh-huh.” Words failed me, and an answering frown creased between his eyes.
“You were expecting me, I believe. Regarding your castle works?”
It wasn’t the castle I was worried about right now. It was the fact I was getting an inappropriate hard-on at my first sight of this glorious man in what was supposed to be a serious business meeting. I’d never seen such beauty up close, and suddenly, I understood how my sister could meet and fall for someone in the space of a few days. Not that my heart had anything to do with how I felt. I was tired of all the shit, the worries, the stress, and abruptly, I wanted my old university days back when I could sleep with anyone I wanted.
Because, right about now, with everything whirling in my head, the thought of Marquis Miller in my bed and fucking me into tomorrow, well, damn the consequences. Bring it on.

This is the fourth book in the series and is a complete departure from all the
other books as we find ourselves mostly in a fictional kingdom somewhere in
northern Europe. There is a nod to hockey with a charity tournament, but it is
more about crumbling castles and the issues faced by royal siblings than sport.
Marquis, the out and most dapper man in the Boston Rebels, is spending the
summer trying to get a plumbing contract for his father's business. Little did
he expect when he packed his most chic of outfits to impress the client, that
he would instantly fall in lust with Prince Kaleb, or that he would get the
chance to get close to him. But that is indeed what happens, even if it flies
in the face of the Queen's plans for Kaleb to marry for political reasons.
It was fun to be taken away from the often brutal realities of life as a hockey
player, and to consider the vagaries of royal duty in a modern world. I did
laugh at the adventures which Marquis's hats often had, and the thought of him
climbing a mountain in leather-soled hand-made Italian loafers!
