The Prince and the Puck

He left his past behind long ago… what happens when it comes back, in the form of a childhood love turned secret agent on a mission she can’t reveal to him?

Deck Gillespie has only ever wanted to play hockey. Which is funny, since the kingdom where he was born the spare heir doesn’t even recognize it as a sport.
Allowed to shrug off the mantel of royal responsibility at age 10, he’s been living and playing in the US ever since, single-mindedly devoted to the game.
Relationships? Damn near impossible when you can’t tell anyone who you really...

Lizzy Canfield was born into royal life too — the daughter of the Queen’s most trusted counselor. She grew up in the palace, best friends with a young prince, but as they grew, her place became clear. Besides, he moved away when they were young, taking their childhood crushes with him.
Now? Lizzy is one of the King’s most respected guards, frequently sent on missions that have most shaking in their shoes.
But Lizzy’s undertaking her most important mission of all. Bring the Prince home. The King is sick and the rightful heir is looking less and less rightful by the day.
The catch? Deck can’t know who she really is, and she can’t reveal that she knows who he is. Also, he has to decide to go home of his own free will.
Can Lizzy successfully pose as a PR consultant to the Wombats while convincing Deck to go home? Will Deck remember her? Will their childhood romance blossom into a very adult relationship?

(Hint: yes. This is a romance. There is a happily ever after. But getting to it is going to be a pretty fun ride!)
