To Win A Crown

She was the daughter of a queen. But she was not a princess.

Scottie O'Shay has the perfect life as creative director for her family's beloved men's fashion brand, which she embraces with grit, style, and southern charm. But when a reporter's exposé reveals shocking secrets, she discovers she's not just Scottie O'Shay anymore. She's the secret daughter of the Queen of Lauchtenland.

Eager to know the mother who gave her up, Scottie flies to Europe for a brief visit only to find herself entangled in animosity and palace intrigue. Then there's Michael Cross-a devoted protection officer whose piercing eyes and quiet strength make her feel dangerously at home.

Michael has loved and lost before. He won't risk his heart again-especially not for an American clothing heiress who's determined to cling to her O'Shay family roots.

Yet when a late-night kiss in a hidden doorway melts duty into devotion, neither one can deny the affection growing between them. Together they'll discover a legacy of secrets and forgiveness powerful enough to heal a fractured kingdom.

On the verge of truly falling in love, devastating news from home yanks Scottie from her personal fairy tale into reality. She faces an impossible choice-the safe ground of Tennessee or the uncharted waters of Lauchtenland where love and a royal crown await.

From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hauck, To Win a Crown is a tender, slow-burn royal romance about letting go and discovering a love greater than your deepest desires.
