Emily in Paris meets Red, White & Royal Blue - an unmissable romantic comedy inspired by the inner workings of the British Royal Family, written by infamous royal correspondent Omid Scobie and YA bestseller Robin Benway

Description

And then there are the distractions. Oscar, the disarmingly charming royal reporter she needs to keep on side. And the irresistibly charismatic Duke of Exeter, who is very much off-limits.

As Lauren battles culture clashes, palace politics, and two dangerously tempting men, she finally begins to carve out her place - and maybe even her own story.

But when someone from her past resurfaces and the headlines heat up, Lauren discovers the truth isn't so easy to spin. And the next scandal threatening the front pages might just involve her...

Royal Spin is a whip-smart romcom that pulls back the palace curtain to reveal a world of palace glamour, scandal, and behind-the-scenes entertainment. The perfect escape for fans of Emily in Paris and Red, White & Royal Blue.

Tropes:

Slow burn ???

Love triangle ????

Workplace romance ??

Forced proximity ??
