That’s that. Besides, he’s marrying the princess; no way he’ll take a second look at her. Kristina takes over her mother’s position as the maid for the royal family and puts her life on hold – it’s her job to keep her family afloat. That mean no distractions, no commitments, no mistakes. Until Alex steps into her life. He’s the crown prince, and he’s marrying royalty, something Kristina was clearly not. She was the maid, and she couldn’t forget that. Alex has his life planned out - crown prince, engaged to a princess, and hoping on a happily ever after – until his favorite older help is replaced by her feisty daughter. Who even hired her? She’s nothing short of an annoying distraction, something he didn’t want or need. Someone he couldn’t trust himself around. PUBLISHER'S NOTE: SECRET BABY is a standalone, happily-ever-after royal romance with no cliffhangers.

    He was the Canon's son, younger than she was, and a gentleman - even though a rather dilettante drifter who had really done very little with his life. But Walter had a secret in his past that he asked Emmie to share with him - and she, in turn, told him of her harsh and cruel background that made her feel unworthy to be anyone's wife. In spite of everything the marriage worked. Walter became Station Master at the lazy, sundrenched little country station of Dymock. Emmie set about rearing her three children, all so different. As Walter and Emmie watched their children grow, marry, have children of their own, so three women began to dominate the family - Dorothy, who was proud, loyal, strong, and frequently extremely angry with the James family into which she had married, Kildie, illegitimate, manipulative, and causing constant strife and drama, and Holly, the third generation, whose loving spirit often held them all together. It was more than fifty years before Walter James's secret was revealed - a secret that nearly broke the family apart.
