Falling Hard for the Royal Guard

Love is in the heir in this royally good rom com – perfect for anyone who likes relatable heroines (with great hair), hot and aloof book boyfriends (with great hats), near misses, almost kisses and a corgi or two.

Despite living in an actual castle, happily ever after is evading Margaret ‘Maggie’ Moore.

From her bedroom in the Tower of London, twenty-six-year-old Maggie has always dreamed of her own fairy-tale ending.

Yet this is twenty-first century London, so instead of knights on white horses, she has catfish on Tinder. And with her last relationship ending in spectacular fashion, she swears off men for good.

And then a chance encounter with Royal Guard Freddie forces Maggie to admit that she isn’t ready to give up on love just yet… But how do you catch the attention of someone who is trained to ignore all distractions?

Can she snare that true love’s first kiss… or is she royally screwed?

A right royal rom com, perfect for fans of Red, White and Royal Blue and The Royal We.

• A love letter to London as well as romance, this tongue-in-cheek rom com is perfect for anyone who likes their female leads relatable (who hasn’t felt like they’re waiting for their own fairytale to land in their lap?), their book boyfriends oh-so-unrelatable (hello, Prince Charming of my dreams), and their romances fresh, funny and forbidden.
• A warm-hearted novel with a right royal twist for the TikTok-made-me-buy-it readership, tapping into themes we know resonate on the platform.
• An authentic voice at the helm as debut author Megan Clawson actually does live in the Tower of London (yes, it’s a real thing – her dad is a beefeater!). Her story attracted attention in 2020, with news outlets around the world interviewing her – from the Metro and the Sun to the New York Post and Daily Blast Live.
• Megan has a TikTok documenting her life with over 260,000 followers and her videos have garnered nearly 5 million likes. Megan’s TikTok audience is 75% female, and her top territories are the UK (49%) and the US (30%), followed by Australia, Canada and Ireland (10% combined).
• Quintessentially British setting will appeal to both American readers and British readers, particularly with all eyes trained on the monarchy with an imminent coronation.
