Majesty American Royals #2 by Katharine McGee Release date 09/01/2020 374 pages 4 out of 5 stars According to the publisher, " Power is intoxicating. Like first love, it can leave you breathless.

Samantha is busy living up to her "party princess" persona...and maybe adding a party prince by her side. Nina is trying to avoid the palace--and Prince Jefferson--at all costs. And a dangerous secret threatens to undo all of Daphne's carefully laid "marry Prince Jefferson" plans. A new reign has begun...."
