Royally Matched
Page 11
The king and queen, along with the earl and countess, entered the room. Both sets of proud parents stared at them as the king asked, “Are you two ready for this?”
Both of them nodded as the king pushed open the doors to the center balcony of the palace. He went out first along with the queen, followed by Lily’s parents.
From outside, the king’s booming voice said, “Today is a grand day. A day where the future of Triola is secured for the next generation. We are pleased to announce the royal engagement of Crown Prince Maxwell Gerard Beaumont, and Lady Liliana Lockhart, the daughter of the Earl of Northrop.”
“Here we go,” Max said with a smile. “I’m glad I met my match in you, Lily.”
“I feel the same. I had no idea I could be this happy.” Leaning over and giving him a quick peck on the lips, she added, “Let’s do this royal thing.”
The newly engaged couple walked onto the balcony, waved to the crowd, and welcomed their people as the future king and queen of Triola.

Acknowledgments
My writing journey would not be possible without those who supported me. Since I can remember, writing is the only thing I love to do, and my deepest desire is to share my talent with others.
First and foremost, I am eternally grateful to Jesus, my lord and savior, who created me with this “writing bug” DNA.
In addition, many thanks go to:
My husband, Dustin, and three daughters, Katie, Julie, and Nikki, for loving me and supporting me during all my late-night writing marathons and coffee-infused mornings.
My mother, Connie, for being my first and most honest critic, now and always. As a little girl, sleeping under your desk during late-night deadlines for the local paper showed me what being a dedicated writer looked like.
My angels in heaven: my grandmother, who passed away in 2001; my infant son, Dylan, who was taken by SIDS three years ago; and my father, who left us this past year.
My good friend and fellow indie author Alexia Purdy who answered all my questions about this process and showed me the ropes.
To my ARC Angels for taking the time to read my story and give valuable feedback.
To the Jenna Brandt Books Street Team, who have pounded the virtual streets on the internet, helping to spread the words about my books. Your dedication means a great deal.
