A Royal Rivalry

Discover the start of a BRAND NEW MM romance series from Nora Phoenix, bestselling author of The Prince and the Player I didn’t ask to be born a prince, but here I am, Prince Alexander Pembroke. After one too many scandals, I’m shipped off to Roosevelt University in the States. My orders? Stay out of trouble, stay out of the tabloids, and above all, stay in the closet. I’m determined to do just that. Until I meet Tommy O’Reilly, breakout Hollywood star and a fellow student. He hates me on sight and I can’t rightly say I’m a fan of him either. But a mandatory expedition, a shared political science project, and too much forced proximity make avoiding each other impossible. And underneath that animosity, something else simmers. Attraction. When we can’t ignore it any longer and give in, we both agree that it’s just chemistry, nothing else. After all, I can’t afford another scandal, and he doesn’t even like me. Until he does. Now I have to choose between my royal obligations and the life I never thought I could have. A Royal Rivalry is the first book in the Roosevelt University Series, a sizzling MM romantic comedy series. It features two guys who mistake attraction for hate and yet can’t stay away from each other, found family in the form of a hilarious group of friends, lots of banter, the best sister in the world, and a very happily-ever-after. Praise for Nora Phoenix: 'Nora wrote the characters in such a relatable way that I was gunning for them both, and when they finally set everything aside and fell for each other? Swoon!' Saxon James 'What starts as a hate-fueled rivalry quickly shifts into scorching secretive hook-ups with so much chemistry, it oozes off the page. Score one for Nora Phoenix because Farron and Tore are the epitome of enemies to lovers.' CE Ricci Author - Nora Phoenix. Narrator - Charlie Klæboe Svensson.
