NEW RELEASE
Killer Queens - Rebecca Chance (2013)
We always wonder what goes on behind palace doors, but now we have the chance to be a fly on the wall and discover what really happens when the public are no longer watching... Chloe is counting down the days until she can marry Prince Hugo, making her a princess and one day a queen. Everything seems to be pretty perfect in their little world until Hugo's family begin to cause a whole manner of problems. First there is Hugo's snotty sister, Sophie, who doesn't think a commoner like Chloe should be marrying into the royal family, and then there is Hugo's devilishly handsome cousin, Toby, who catches Chloe's eye... Lori, a retired athlete, has just accepted King Joachim's hand in marriage. She will soon become the Queen of Herzoslovakia but she can't help but question the speed with which she was engaged and wonders if the whirlwind romance was really a "romance" after all. Lastly, Belinda, Hugo's mother who died tragically in a skiing accident when Hugo was a young boy, may be about to come back from the dead. Three women, each dizzy with royal attention, have to decide what they really want in life and whether the men they are in love with are really the right ones for them... Rebecca Chance doesn't disappoint with her latest novel; in fact this could well be her best yet. The plot is clever, addictive and relevant. Get lost in the world of royalty and be taken to all corners of the globe as you get a sneak peek into the secret world of Buckingham Palace! (LL)
Killer Queens is Rebecca Chance's first foray into writing about royalty. The summary says: "Every little girl grows up dreaming of marrying a prince - but what if the fairy tale turns into a right royal nightmare? Scheming kings, killer queens, evil princes, far from innocent princesses, secret weddings, runaway brides, illicit affairs, death plots and lashings of steamy sex - it's just another day in the lives of the world's most powerful families. Find out what really goes on behind closed palace doors..." Killer Queens is out in August 2013.
