What if the hardest part of being king wasn't wearing the crown... but figuring out what to do when you took it off?
If there were an award for Most Likely to Run Away from His Feelings, King Magnus Erickson would win it. After almost forty years on the throne, he's finally ready to hand over the crown. His children are grown, his country is in good hands, and for the first time in decades, he can do whatever he wants.There's just one problem.
He has absolutely no idea what he wants.
Then his oldest friend, Diandra, confesses she's been in love with him for years.
Naturally, Magnus handles this revelation with all the grace and dignity of a former king.
He runs away. In a borrowed Mustang.
Diandra Laz has spent a lifetime loving a man she could never have. She's built a wonderful life of her own, filled with art, friends, and absolutely no expectations of happily ever after with a king.
But now Magnus is standing at her door, asking for a chance at something neither of them ever dared to imagine.
After decades of friendship, one long-overdue confession, and a royal road trip nobody saw coming, Magnus and Diandra might finally discover that the best part of their story is still waiting to be written.
Royal Reign is a no-spice contemporary royal romantic comedy where lifelong friendship becomes later in life love, a runaway king discovers who he is without his crown, and two old friends take a chance at happily ever after.
Because sometimes happily ever after begins when you finally take off the crown.
