the heir and a spare so he has something to prove. With his two
brothers finding the love of their lives, he decides to outdo them and
join in with the outcast side of their family from the Isle of Rubare
Collina. He wants to shock his civilized family by kidnapping a bride.This
all begins as a joke with a friend, though he plans on keeping the
secret from his family so they truly think he’s gone to the dark side.
The problem is that the woman he “kidnaps” isn’t the right one. His
actress wasn’t there and he mistakes Izabella as his willing victim and
halls her away.
Robert is out of his league with Isabella, or as
her friends know her, Izzy. She’s a reporter and knows all about the
customs of Rubare Collina and how they were barbarians who kidnapped
their brides. She knew they were lying when they said the custom was
dead, and now she’s ready to play along to get her story.
Sit back and enjoy the ride as another prince gets taken down in this fun novella by NYT’s Bestselling author, Melody Anne.
Available now from J.S. Scott
tell you firsthand that they were dead wrong. I was born an only child
to one of the wealthiest families in America, and all I’ve ever felt
was loneliness and a sense that I may have been adopted. I don’t fit
in. I never have. When all my mother wanted was for me to marry into
another prestigious family, I wanted an education and to just
be…normal. It’s not that I don’t appreciate having a roof over my
head and everything my heart desires. Problem is, what I really want is
something money can’t buy. I want to be loved for who I am and not how
much money my father acquired before his death.
At the age
of twenty-four, I’m still a virgin, and a freak among my peers because
of my fascination with all things history and literature, my bad hair,
my bizarre eyes, and my complete lack of style. When my mother wants to
send me away to a house party on a little-known island nation, I jump at
the opportunity. Hardly anybody from the outside gets invited to
Rubare Virgina, and it’s rich in history. Sure, I realize that she’s
aiming high and trying to marry me off to some pompous, obscenely
wealthy prince, but I’ve decided I’d resolve that problem at the
masquerade ball at the beginning of my stay on the island.
I’d
lose my virginity to the first guy who would have me, making myself
ineligible to be any royal’s wife on Rubare Virgina. Then I could just
enjoy my stay in my own nerdy sort of way. Pretty simple. Until it
becomes…complicated.
Prince Niccolino is nothing like I
thought he would be. He’s real. He’s honest. And he’s hotter than
Florida in July. He’s everything a woman could ever want or need, and
he’s loyal to those he cares about and his country. But there’s just
one tiny problem: I’m no longer the virgin he needs to marry. I’d
forfeited my opportunity for more with Prince Nic when I’d given away my
virginity at the masquerade ball to a complete stranger. Could it be
that I’ve finally found my Prince and my heart’s desire only to have it
torn away because of my one stupid indiscretion??
Like the
first novella trilogy, Taken by a Trillionaire, these novellas are
escapism fantasy. If you are looking for a historically accurate
representation of a monarchy or a serious depiction of how royals
maintain their bloodlines, neither trilogies are for you. If you love
larger than life characters and fun storylines that take you to exotic
places with sexy alpha men, then welcome to our imaginary kingdoms. The
men are insanely rich, the traditions are potentially deadly, and the
sex will leave you craving a night on this dark isle.

Prince Ballasare Stephan Demande needs a bride before his thirtieth
birthday or he’ll lose his crown. Unlike their barbarian twin island,
Rubare Virgina’s royal family is above kidnapping and murdering as a
means of choosing their queens. Historically, they’ve cultivated their
own selection, ensuring the purity and perfection of each. Prince
Ballasare wants more, so he comes up with a plan. It’s genius really. He
invites three hundred of the most beautiful and intelligent virgins
from around the world to his island under the guise of attending a
conference. Those who are willing to stay and participate in a series of
tests are offered a chance to win one million dollars. He can only
imagine the joy that the woman he chooses will feel when she discovers
he and his title are the real prize.
Jessica Quincy is at a
crossroads career wise. She hadn’t expected anyone to actually read her
blog posts about her lonely life. She certainly hadn’t expected Virgin
Territory to go viral. But who can stay a virgin forever? And what does a
woman do when she’s no longer what she’s made a career out of writing
about? She takes a risk, that’s what. Jessica attends a conference that
promises to end with one participant winning a million dollars. Any
ex-virgin could start over with that kind of money.
She makes him laugh.
He scares, infuriates, and totally turns her on.
Unfortunately, on Rubare Virgina, being chosen by a sexy prince can have deadly consequences if you haven’t updated your blog.

One wild project.Taken

RWA. Over cocktails, J.S. Scott, Melody Anne, and Ruth Cardello laughed
as they plotted this book with the help of two industry friends, Chris
and Brian.
If you are looking for a historically
accurate representation of a monarchy or a serious depiction of how
royals maintain their bloodlines, this may not be the book for you. If
you love larger than life characters and fun storylines that take you to

If you’ve ever fantasized about what it
would be like to be swept off your feet—or tossed over a prince’s
shoulder and taken—then you’ll enjoy our trilogy.
Novella One: Xander by Ruth Cardello
Royal
Prince Xander Demande needs to choose a wife before his thirtieth
birthday, or he will lose his crown. His list of potential candidates is
long but shortens to one woman after a brief encounter with the
socially inept, but beautiful and brilliant, Dr. Reanna Fielding. She
never thought Prince Charming would come for her. He never thought any
woman would melt his heart. Love makes its own rules, but will it save
her when she defies not only him but the laws of his kingdom? In Rubare
Collina, a marriage proposal can be a dream come true—or a death
sentence.
Novella Two: Bryan by J.S. Scott
Get
married . . . or die. Prince Bryan Demande was left with only two
unpalatable choices. When he decides to take his chances rather than
marry, his father and the busybody royal adviser take matters into their
own hands.
Like it or not, Bryan is delivered a
kidnapped bride, and it isn’t a woman who’s a total stranger. She’s an
American female who has haunted his dreams for the last five years, the
only woman who has ever wanted him without his trillions of dollars or
his royal title. Suddenly, marriage doesn’t look like such a bad option
to Bryan, but he’ll have to convince his angry, kidnapped, bride-to-be
that she belongs with him.
Novella Three: Chris by Melody Anne
Christopher
Demande wants nothing to do with marriage and is willing to renounce
his title to the throne to prove it. That is until he meets independent
Adara Burnadette and decides he must have her. Unfortunately, Adara is
opposed to marriages of convenience. So what does a young prince do when
his chosen bride refuses his proposal? He kidnaps her of course.
