Though part of the Sherdana Royals, Nic Alessandro has lived in
America for the past decade; as he pursues his dream of the private sector exploring
space. His excitement turns to horror
when the rocket exploded leaving a Griffin Project teammate dead. Blaming himself, Nic leaves the States, and
his best friend and girlfriend Professor Brooke Davis behind.
Carrying their child, Brooke follows her beloved to a Greek isle
where he stews in guilt before returning home and wearing the mantle of Prince
Nic. Although he wants her, he also
warns her they can never be permanent as she is unacceptable to be a royal
wife. Taking a pregnant pause, Brooke
wonders whether to conceal their unborn from Prince Nic even as he brings her
to the Sherdana palace for a royal welcoming.
The second Sherdana Royals is a delightful contemporary as love
and a baby on the way may not be enough to overcome tradition, especially when
Nic’s mom the queen rejects the American (his sister and sister-in-law warmly
welcome Brooke). Though Brooke’s dilemma
whether to tell or not to tell does not reach the angst level faced by Lady Olivia Darcy in the opening act (see Royal
Heirs Required), A Royal Baby Surprise is a pleasant
romance.
