10 Best Books Like Love and Other Royal Scandals

A romantic comedy about royal secrets, reluctant allies, and the emotional hazards of falling for someone who threatens your entire worldview. Sebastian Hawthorne believed in one fundamental truth: if you orchestrate a political coup without technically committing treason, you deserve a damn party. Too bad he also just found out he’s the illegitimate son of a dead king. Which puts a bit of a damper on the champagne. Now he’s slightly hungover, inconveniently royal, and highly motivated to ruin the man who raised him like a son while treating him like a pawn. Enter Harper Sinclair: brilliant investigative journalist, chronic overachiever, professional thorn in his side. Also, not his biggest fan—he may have killed one of her stories. (He apologized. Badly.) They’re not partners. They’re not friends. And they are absolutely not flirting—despite the late-night strategy meetings, the mutual loathing with a side of longing, and a royal wedding looming like a ticking bomb. In a palace built on secrets, the most dangerous thing they’re hiding... might be how they feel about each other. Perfect for fans of The Royal We, Red, White & Royal Blue, Love & Other Royal Scandals delivers clever banter, reluctant allies-to-lovers tension, political intrigue, and morally complicated men in excellent coats.
