Wear It Like a Crown 1st Edition by Zarah Detand 1671662318 978-1671662315

A royal coming out needs a professional touch. When rebellious Leo, an ex-Etonian with a dark past, crashes into Prince Joshua’s pristine world, it’s safe to say the monarchy won’t ever be the same.

Meet Leo: a societal outcast, ousted from nobility, whose past has seen London’s grimy alleys and the company of its undesirables. Now part of an elite crew—rescuing high-profile figures from scandal—he’s the last person one would expect inside the lavish halls of Buckingham Palace.

Enter Prince Joshua: silver-spooned royalty with a secret that could damage a kingdom. When a blackmailer threatens to expose Joshua’s sexuality, Leo’s team swoops in, bringing him and the prince face to face.

Their first encounter? Contentious. But there’s an undeniable spark—a raw honesty that draws Joshua in. As their worlds merge, secrets unravel, including one that links their pasts in the corridors of Eton. But amidst the banter, the challenges of royalty weigh heavy on Joshua. Leo, with his cheeky bravado, might just be the jolt Joshua needs, especially when coming out to a nation.

However, when passion turns to potential love, Leo’s own demons rear their head. Can a former hooker ever stand by the side of a prince?

Expect fast-paced dialogue, unexpected laughs, and a tale that balances the light-hearted with the profound. Perfect for fans of contemporary MM romances that delve deep while keeping you hooked with charm.

From verified Amazon reviews:
“What a joy to read! Characters that are described so well that you expect to meet them walking down the street.”
“Impossible to put down and full of both poignant emotional stakes and so many warm fuzzy feelings.”
“Well written and executed gay romance which takes the time to consider that each human being has a personal story that may differ from our assumptions.”
“This was a book that burrowed into my heart and took me on the same emotional rollercoaster as the characters. Only truly great books inspire me to attempt to capture my own emotional reaction and journey in words. This is one of those few.”
“The friendships are delightful, the on-page relationships snarkily nourishing, the roadblocks and pitfalls intrinsic to the characters, and the end not simplified.”
“cried at parts, laughed at others, felt all of the feels for the characters in this story. 10/10 recommend.”
“If you liked red white and royal blue this is a great alternate recommendation.”

“One of my favorite reads of the year, and by far my favorite royal read! The characters are unbelievably real and the plot was unique and just perfect. My only complaint is I want more!!!”
“You cannot go wrong picking this book!”
