Romancing the Crown is one of Harlequin’s most ambitious continuity projects, with nineteen books published between 2002 and 2008 under the Silhouette Intimate Moments line. The series is set in the fictional kingdom of Montebello, where a royal family faces threats from within and without. Secret agents, mercenaries, dukes, and sheiks all orbit the throne, and nearly every book involves someone whose true identity or loyalty is in question.
The scope of the series allows for a wide range of story types. The Man Who Would Be King opens with political intrigue, while later entries like Secret-Agent Sheik and Virgin Seduction lean into action and forbidden romance. A large cast of Harlequin authors contributed, with Marie Ferrarella among them. The fictional kingdom setting gives the stories a slightly fairy-tale quality, even as the plots involve espionage, murder, and family betrayal. For readers who enjoy royal romance with a suspenseful edge, this is one of the larger offerings in that space.
