Inheritance
by Katharine McGee
American Royals Book 0.5
Princess Beatrice realizes whatโs expected of her as heir apparentโand it is not riding in cars, alone, with her Revere Guard. But what the Crown doesnโt know wonโt hurt itโฆright?
Princess Samantha is already bored of her own graduation party. She swears she isnโt looking for trouble, but when the king and queen are away, the spare will playโฆ.
Nina never dreamed of acting on her feelings for Prince Jefferson. Tonight, though, anything seems possible: even a prince and a commoner.
Meanwhile, Daphne is hiding more than one secret beneath her perfect exterior. A royal party might just be the window of opportunity she needsโuntil everything comes crashing down.
Will this be an evening of new beginnings, or will it mark the end of an era?
American Royals
by Katharine McGee
American Royals Book 1
2019 Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Best Young Adult Fiction
Two princesses vying for the ultimate crown. Two girls vying for the prince’s heart. This is the story of the American royals.
When America won the Revolutionary War, its people offered General George Washington a crown. Two and a half centuries later, the House of Washington still sits on the throne. Like most royal families, the Washingtons have an heir and a spare. A future monarch and a backup battery. Each child knows exactly what is expected of them. But these aren’t just any royals. They’re American.
As Princess Beatrice gets closer to becoming America’s first queen regnant, the duty she has embraced her entire life suddenly feels stifling.
Nobody cares about the spare except when she’s breaking the rules, so Princess Samantha doesn’t care much about anything, either . . . except the one boy who is distinctly off-limits to her.
And then there’s Samantha’s twin, Prince Jefferson. If he’d been born a generation earlier, he would have stood first in line for the throne, but the new laws of succession make him third. Most of America adores their devastatingly handsome prince . . . but two very different girls are vying to capture his heart.
Majesty
by Katharine McGee
American Royals Book 2
2020 Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Best Young Adult Fiction
Power is intoxicating. Like first love, it can leave you breathless. Princess Beatrice was born with it. Princess Samantha was born with less. Some, like Nina Gonzalez, are pulled into it. And a few will claw their way in. Ahem, we’re looking at you Daphne Deighton.
As America adjusts to the idea of a queen on the throne, Beatrice grapples with everything she lost when she gained the ultimate crown.
Samantha is busy living up to her “party princess” persona…and maybe adding a party prince by her side. Nina is trying to avoid the palace–and Prince Jefferson–at all costs.
And a dangerous secret threatens to undo all of Daphne’s carefully laid “marry Prince Jefferson” plans.
A new reign has begun….
Rivals
by Katharine McGee

Beatrice is queen, and for the American royal family, everything is about to change.
Relationships will be tested.
Princess Samantha is in love with Lord Marshall Davisโbut the more serious they get, the more complicated things become. Is Sam destined to repeat her string of broken relationshipsโฆand this time will the broken heart be her own?
Strangers will become friends.
Beatrice is representing America at the greatest convocation of kings and queens in the world. When she meets a glamorous foreign princess, she gets drawn into the inner circleโฆbut at what cost?
And rivals will become allies.
Nina and Daphne have spent years competing for Prince Jefferson. Now they have something in common: they both want to take down manipulative Lady Gabriella Madison. Can these enemies join forces, or will old rivalries stand in the way?
Reign
by Katharine McGee
American Royals Book 4
America’s royal family is in shambles. Queen Beatrice is in a coma and Princess Samantha has gone missingโfrom the look of things, she ran away with her boyfriend, Lord Marshall Davis. Which means that Prince Jefferson is currently on the throne.
For some in America, it’s exactly what they wanted: a King ruling the country. And for Daphne Deighton, who has tricked Jefferson into dating her again, it’s the ultimate dream come true.
Surely this is all just temporary. Wonโt Beatrice wake up and reclaim her rightful place? Samantha can’t really be goneโฆcan she? And Prince Jefferson will never truly be over his childhood crush, Nina Gonzalez. Right?
For the Washington family, the stakes are higher than ever. Love might save the throneโฆ.if secrets donโt destroy everything first.
