How To Marry A Monarch is a two-book series from 2001. Plain-Jane Princess and Honky-Tonk Cinderella both take the royal romance premise and give it Karen Templeton’s down-to-earth treatment. The heroines are practical women, not glamorous socialites, which gives the fairy-tale setup a grounded feel.

These early-career books show Templeton working with romance tropes she would later move away from as her writing shifted toward small-town and family-focused stories. The titles signal the playful approach she brings to the Cinderella formula.
