Some Like It Royal
Book 1 in the Going Royal Series
It’s the Role She Never Saw Coming…
Alyx Dagmar’s life isn’t exactly a fairytale. Living in her car and waiting tables to get by, she never imagined a handsome stranger would walk into her life with an unbelievable tale of royal blood—and an even more unbelievable proposal. She’s sure he’s got the wrong woman.
Daniel Voldakov, a self-made billionaire, is looking to expand his software empire into Europe, but he needs the right connections to make it happen. A high-society fiancée would be his golden ticket—and he’s convinced Alyx, with her royal roots, is just the woman he needs.
Against her better judgment, Alyx agrees to play the part. But as their “storybook romance” captures the media’s attention, she finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Daniel. Is his affection real, or just another piece of the plan? Daniel will do whatever it takes to show her that the only happy ending he wants is the one with her… the real Alyx.

Clasping his hands together, he sat back and watched as she took her spot. “Whenever you’re ready.” He called quietly, certain it would carry.
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.” She lifted her hand as though holding a glass up to make a toast. Dressed in the simple green strapless gown, with her glorious ruby hair pinned up, she seemed as glamorous as any model. “It is time for us to remove our masks, to reveal ourselves to each other in the fine tradition of the old-world masquerade. Have you danced with a duke? Did you dine with a princess? Did you discover your true love?”
She flowed three steps toward the lip of the stage, the single spotlight highlighting the magnificent column of her throat. He held his breath. She was better than he imagined. With all the gesture of flourish she mimed the removal of a mask. Her smile lit up her face and he leaned forward.
An air of expectancy hung around her, cloaking her as her smile turned coy, secretive. The notes said she was to react to surprise with a hint of delight. But the riot of emotion she let play over her face captivated him.
With a graceful curtsy, she dipped toward the stage and her gaze roved over the audience. He could almost imagine she hunted for him in the shadows and when she paused to straighten, her chin came up. “Yes,” she said in a clear, true voice. “My name is Princess D’tente.”
It was a stupid name, he grimaced at it, but he’d wanted her to take the message in it.
“And at long last, I am reunited with my family.” She paused again, but this wasn’t in the script. Her smile faltered and fell away.
Her gaze arrowed straight at him, where he sat, arms braced on the back of the seat in front of him.
“You son of a bitch.”
Yep. That definitely wasn’t in the script.
