About The Backup Princess
When a Texas gal punches a prince instead of curtsying, you know this isn't your grandmother's fairy tale. Taking the bull by the horns is child's play compared to ruling Malveaux. Yet here I am, a Texas girl turned princess, swapping tacos for a tiara. Then I meet Europe’s most eligible bachelor, the irritatingly handsome Prince Alexander, and accidentally deck him instead of curtsying. Oops. I’d feel bad if he wasn’t such a self-satisfied jerk. Now, I'm racing against a royal clock, trying not to let down my newfound country or my own wild heart. Alexander? He's a walking contradiction, with a smirk that heats my blood and eyes that tell tales of a depth I didn't expect. Decisions aren't exactly my rodeo, but this time, my choice could cost me my new crown—or lead to a love story that rewrites my happily ever after. Will this Texas girl rise to the royal challenge, or is this one fairytale destined to end with the slipper never found?
