Two princes from neighboring countries fall into a whirlwind royal romance in this sparkling spin on The Princess Diaries by Cale Dietrich.
Act like a prince, but don’t fall for one.
Jamie Johnson has never been the centre of attention, and he’s perfectly okay with that. His entire world unravels as a hidden truth emerges: he's the heir to the throne of Mitanor, a sun-drenched southern European country, and the press is ready to expose this secret to the world. An invitation to spend the summer in his father's palace arrives, giving Jamie a chance to get to know the man he never thought he’d meet.
Meanwhile, in a northern European kingdom known for its cold climate and stoic royals, Erik Lindstrom, the spare prince, grapples with the upcoming marriage of his golden-boy elder brother. With the country’s spotlight trained on his family more than ever, Erik feels sidelined and tightly controlled. So when he receives an offer to tutor the newly found American prince in the ways of royalty, he accepts without hesitation.
At a magnificent summer palace, Erik guides Jamie through the intricacies of royal etiquette, politics, and history. What neither prince anticipates is the connection that sparks between them—one that challenges both of their futures. Now each must make a choice: follow their hearts, or the time-honored royal path where crown and country reigns supreme, no matter the personal cost.

Reviews
Praise for The Rules of Royalty:
“Dietrich has written a quintessential gay romance. Everything about it—its tantalizing premise, its highly engaging plot, its to-die-for characters—is practically perfect, and it’s irresistibly readable, to boot. The pages fly by as readers root for the starcrossed boyfriends, with whom readers will have doubtlessly fallen in love, and hope for a happy ending." - Booklist (starred review)
"Immediate and emotional first-person chapters detail the highs and lows of royal teenage life in this slow-burn romance by Dietrich, which is studded with high-society extravagance and old-world charm.” - Publishers Weekly
"Readers will enjoy indulging in the deliciously slow-burn romance between the kind, honest, and adorable boys, who narrate in alternating first-person chapters...this cozy royal love story is thoroughly delightful." - Kirkus
"Smart, funny, full of heart, and packed full with Dietrich's signature style, The Rules of Royalty is the type of book that reminds you that miracles happen, once in a while. I couldn't stop smiling while reading and rooting for Jamie and Erik. A must read for all who love, love." —Kosoko Jackson, USA Today Bestselling author of The Forest Demands Its Due
