Rule #1 of royal life: Never fall for the future king.
I broke that rule when I was seventeen.
I confessed my love to Prince Alexander Windsor beneath the chandeliers of my birthday ball, and he shattered me with one sentence:
"I’ve never seen you that way."
Five years later, I’ve escaped to Crownford University in New York to start over as an art student.
Then I discover the owner of the penthouse above my suite, the one who kept me awake all night with a blonde in his bed..is none other than Alexander.
Older. Colder. Untouchable.
And the most famous hockey player in the world.
I’m hired to paint the entire hockey team for the championship exhibition.
Alexander makes every session impossible.
He skips appointments, orders me to the rink at midnight, and poses shirtless like he’s trying to ruin my concentration on purpose.
The worst part?
I’m starting to think he never forgot me either.
Then his younger brother transfers to our university, the scandal photos begin to spread, and the royal family decides I’m a threat to the crown.
Now I’m trapped between two princes, a kingdom that wants me gone, and the man who once broke my heart.
Alexander says he can’t love me.
But if that’s true, why does he look ready to destroy anyone who touches me?

Pucking My Royal Nemesis is a steamy royal hockey romance featuring a cold crown prince, a talented artist heroine, second-chance love, obsessive rivalry, forbidden attraction, public scandal, and a love fierce enough to bring a kingdom to its knees.
Blurb
I wasn't supposed to marry my boss.
In fact, the first time I met him, I didn't even know his name.
If someone had told me that one reckless night would change the rest of my life, I would've laughed in their face.
Because people like Bartholomew Hades didn't exist in my world.
So when I met the devastatingly handsome stranger at the hotel bar that rainy Friday night, I convinced myself he was just another businessman passing through the city.
One drink became two.
Two became a conversation that somehow lasted until sunrise, with me tangled up in his sheets and a very sore body.
For one night, I forgot all my problems.
Then, three days later...
I walked into the headquarters of Hade's Corporation for my first day as an executive assistant.
My new boss looked up from behind his desk.
Dark eyes met mine, and recognition flashed between us.
The stranger who I ran away from on Saturday morning.
The billionaire who had just become my boss.
I should have walked away then.
Instead...
I married him.
Her life had been a living hell ever since she had known him.
It wasn\'t every day one gets to know the almighty as human.
He was brutal.
She was crazy. He was the Country\'s most handsome womanizer, she was a firecracker.
Ashley Crook had never thought her life would be pathetic untill she had no option but to ask help from the very same guy she detested her whole life.
She hated him with all her life and there was no certain way, she\'d let the monster be the father of her child.
But perceiving the antibiotics and antiseptic that wafted in the air she was determined to change her life for good.
Poverty was something she was not willing to work with.
She hated being poor but she hated the condition he had given her.
There was no way, she\'d be a surrogate!
