By: Tracy Wolff

Publisher: Ballantine/Loveswept
What’s a crown prince to do with time on his hands? Or better yet, who? It’s Prince Garrett’s turn to find love in this mouthwatering standalone novel from the New York Timesbestselling author of Royal Pain.
Once upon a time I was being groomed to sit on the throne of Wildemar. Now I’m lucky they let me into the palace through the front door. After I was kidnapped and tortured by extremists, my reward upon my release is that nobody trusts me enough to let me be king. And since my twin brother, Kian, has assumed all my responsibilities, I figure why not take over as the black sheep?
But after breaking things off with my betrothed—we never had much chemistry, anyway—and giving the jetsetting playboy lifestyle a try, I’m starting to wonder if I’m cut out for this s***. Then I meet Lola Barnes, a drop-dead gorgeous entrepreneur from the States who’s as refreshing as she is feisty.
It’s supposed to be a one-night-stand—until the press catches wind of my “new American sweetheart.” Trouble is, Lola’s no sweetheart. But the more I see our names together in the headlines, the more I find myself craving another taste. . . .
“My flight leaves in a little over three hours, Garrett, and I am going to be on it.”
“Don’t you understand? No one will believe a woman in the first stages of a relationship goes running off to another city.”
“Maybe not in your rarified world where half of everyone’s job is learning how to manipulate the press and the public. But in the real world where I live, nearly everyone will believe it. People have relationships and manage to go to work all over the world.”
I think of the months of being chained up, of sleeping sitting up with my arms above my head while my body screamed from pain and exhaustion. “My world’s not that rarified.”
“Dude, your world is as rarified as it gets. And you’ve got three security guards sitting outside to make sure it stays that way.” Lola swings her suitcase off the bed with a roll of her eyes. “And I get it. I understand that you were raised to believe the sun rises and sets on you, and that every time you so much as breathe it’s national news. But really. You aren’t that special.”
Things are getting tense between us and I know I’ve got two choices. Continue down the road to a full-blown fight that will get me nothing or try to defuse the situation.
I settle for the latter as I raise my brows at her. “That’s not what you were saying an hour ago.”
Surprise flickers in her eyes, then is gone as quickly as it came. “An hour ago I was under duress,” she answers with a sniff.
I waggle my brows at her. “And here I thought you were under me.”
She snort-laughs, then slaps a hand over her mouth like she wants to pull the sound back in. But it’s so unexpected that I kind of love it. The same way I love that she talks in her sleep and has a star-shaped cluster of freckles on her left hip. The same way—
And fuck. Just fuck. I really am falling for this woman and, apparently, there’s not a damn thing I can do to keep her from walking away in three hours. It shouldn’t matter, but it does.
I just wish I knew how I got here. Lola was supposed to be a distraction, a fun means to the ends I’ve been working toward my entire life. She sure as hell wasn’t supposed to be something more for me to care about. Something more for me to lose.
What the hell am I supposed to do now?

Tracy Wolff collects books, English degrees and lipsticks and has been known to forget where—and sometimes who—she is when immersed in a great novel. At six she wrote her first short story—something with a rainbow and a prince—and at seven she forayed into the wonderful world of girls lit with her first Judy Blume novel. By ten she’d read everything in the young adult and classics sections of her local bookstore, so in desperation her mom started her on romance novels. And from the first page of the first book, Tracy knew she’d found her life-long love. Now an English professor at her local community college, she writes romances that run the gamut from contemporary to paranormal to erotic suspense.
And for all of those who want the unedited version:
Tracy Wolff lives with four men, teaches writing to local college students and spends as much time as she can manage immersed in worlds of her own creation. Married to the alpha hero of her dreams for twelve years, she is the mother of three young sons who spend most of their time trying to make her as crazy as possible.

Lola Barnes is a free-spirited, independent woman, who owns a clothing business, where she buys and sells vintage clothing. She came from meager beginnings, was raised by a single mother who taught her how to stay true to her beliefs, and gave her the tools (street smarts) to make a successful life for herself. She is not rich by any stretch of the means, but she does well for herself, and that is just fine by her, she honestly wouldn't have it any other way. While in Wildemar on a shopping excursion, she comes across a gorgeous hunk who not only infuriates her, but also comes equipped with a charming side that lures her in for a night on the town... not realizing that said "one night" is about to turn her quiet little life upside down!
After being kidnapped, beaten, and dethroned Prince Garrett of Wildemar is completely at a loss, he always thought he be in charge, but once was returned home, his father took his crown from him and passed it onto his brother. He is beyond ticked about losing his crown, and is determined to show his father that he is worthy of the title, and will do just about anything to make it a reality. So when he spots a feisty little redhead giving his security a run for their money at the pool one afternoon, he thinks she may just be a step in the right direction. So he finds out her name, and goes in search of the beauty caused this stirring in his belly that won't subside... and winds up finding the answer to all his prayers!
Royal Treatment is a heartfelt and entertaining tale that is sure to have romance readers falling in love as soon as their eyes hit the first page! This one was a refreshing change of pace for me and unlike anything I have read in a while. It was an engaging, emotional, steamy, funny, and a whole lot of fun to devour! Highly recommend it!!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, via NetGalley, and voluntarily read and reviewed.
