Publisher's Description

New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hauck's Once Upon a Prince is the story of an ordinary girl crossing paths with a royal prince that inspired the Hallmark Original movie of the same name. "With only a subtle nod to Cinderella, this modern and engaging tale follows the budding relationship of an American Southern girl and a pseudo-Brit prince... Hauck fans will find a gem of a tale." -- Publishers Weekly starred review Susanna Truitt never dreamed of a great romance or being treated like a princess--just to marry the man she has loved for twelve years. But life isn't going according to plan. When her high-school-sweetheart-turned-Marine-officer breaks up with her instead of proposing, Susanna scrambles to rebuild her life. The last thing Prince Nathaniel expects to find on his American holiday to St. Simons Island is the queen of his heart. The prince has duties, and his family's tense political situation means he won't be able to marry for love or even choose his own bride. When Prince Nathaniel stops to help Susanna, who is stranded with a flat tire under the fabled Lover's Oak, he is immediately enchanted by her. And even though he's a total stranger, Susanna finds herself pouring her heart out to him. Their lives are worlds apart, and soon Nathaniel must face the ultimate choice: his kingdom or her heart? Perfect for fans of royal romance and cozy Hallmark charm, Once Upon a Prince is an enchanting modern-day fairy tale brimming with heart, destiny, and swoon-worthy tension (but without the spice). Includes discussion questions for book clubs. Dive into the Royal Wedding series (Princess Ever After, How to Catch a Prince, and A Royal Christmas Wedding) and experience Hauck's unique brand of royal-style romance.

“A stirring modern-day fairy tale about the power of true love.”

Cindy Kirk

“How to Catch a Prince is an enchanting story told with bold flavor and tender insight. Engaging characters come alive as romance blooms between a prince and his one true love. Hauck’s own brand of royal-style romance shines in this third installment of the Royal Wedding Series.”

Denise Hunter

“How to Catch a Prince contains all the elements I’ve come to love in Rachel Hauck’s Royal Wedding Series: an “it don’t come easy” happily ever after, a contemporary romance woven through with royal history, and a strong spiritual thread with an unexpected touch of the divine. Hauck’s smooth writing—and the way she wove life truths throughout the novel—made for a couldn’t-put-it-down read.”

Beth K. Vogt

“Both books, Once Upon a Prince and Princess Ever After are a good blend of uplifting entertainment with a mystery twist—not too heavy, not too light, just right! Five plus stars awarded to these most excellent books by Rachel Hauck.”

Laura Palmore

“A completely satisfying read. I’ve read A March Bride 3 times!”

J. Goldhahn

“I just finished my ARC of Once Upon A Prince and I LOVED IT! I don’t say that often because I do so many book reviews and it’s hard to find a real gem, but this one fit the bill!”

Lori Twichell

“The Wedding Dress is a thought-provoking read and one of the best books I have read. Look forward to more . . .”

Michelle Johnman

“I thank God for your talent and that you wrote The Wedding Dress. I will definitely come back to this book and read it again. And now I cannot wait to read Once Upon A Prince.”
