Royally Entitled

By Melody Delgado

Description:

When her family’s cider business is ruined and other local businesses are vandalized, Anika Pembrie wonders if the recent bout of unrest is merely a result of rivalry between local merchants and noblemen or if something more sinister is at the root of the recent crimes.

Along her journey Anika befriends Prince Valdemar, future king of Brevalia, but their relationship hits many twists and turns along the way. Lady Winifred Paxel Flemming pursues the prince relentlessly. His grandmother, Queen Marguerite, expects him to wed whoever she thinks is suitable, even if it means marrying a foreign princess he’s never met.

Anika’s mother, Lady Sarah, wants Anika to help ease the family’s financial burdens by marrying Erland Riccats, National Chairman of the Merchants Guild. Lady Sarah is also harboring secrets regarding Prince Valdemar’s mother, Princess Karin, who met an untimely death years before. In the end, will both Anika and Prince Valdemar be forced into loveless marriages, or will they be able to outwit their enemies?

Book Takeaway:

The Pembrie family is hit with trials, but they deal with their anger, stick together, talk things through, keep their faith and dependence upon God and God does indeed come through for them and bless them.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted single women to think long and hard about who they choose to marry and why, and why settling for an ungodly man is not a wise choice, even if he happens to be rich and handsome. God may indeed provide a man with those qualities, but he must also be humble, spiritual and Godly. Also, to help women keep their faith during hard times and not turn away from God in difficulty, but to lean on him and spiritual friends in times of crisis.
