About this listen

What happens when the Prince of Wales falls in love with the prime minister?

My boring life working in an insurance call center in sunny California just took an unexpected turn. Thanks to my misbehaving relatives, I’ve leaped from obscurity to royalty as the new heir to the British throne.

But my welcome in England is about as warm as the weather. I arrive to discover a country horrified at the thought of an American version of Prince Charming and ready to revolt against the monarchy. I vow to my grandmother, the queen, that I will do everything possible to help her save the crown.

Unfortunately, royal life isn’t easy. From bewildering traditions, traitorous friends, and malevolent swans, the only thing I’m succeeding in is providing entertainment for the tabloids and social media trolls.

And then the broodingly handsome prime minister, Oliver Hartwell, bursts into my life.

With his meteoric rise from poverty to the most powerful man in the country, Oliver understands my current plight. Innocent messages of support turn into late-night chats—and unexpected feelings.

But there’s one major problem. The royal family must remain politically neutral at all times.

So how can I keep my promise to save the monarchy when I’m falling in love with the prime minister?

A forbidden romance filled with humor and drama featuring a bumbling Prince of Wales and a stern yet dashing prime minister, with a love that could transform a nation.

I read the book years ago and decided to buy the audio. Gary Furlong’s narration truly elevated the material, drawing me into the friendship between the main men. His talent for voices made it easy to follow who was speaking and understand their personalities. I highly recommend it.

Great story with superb narration

Callum is such a Ray of Sunshine, with a brilliant humour. Narrator Gary Furlong is so multi-talented in bringing this ensemble of characters to life. I loved Gary’s portrayal of Callum so much that after listening to it on Hoopla, I had to buy the audio so I could re-listen to it again. The author Jax is equally talented in storytelling. She is new to me but is now a firm favourite. I hope Gary will continue to narrate all of Jax’s other novels.

Outstanding story & performance
