American Royalty (Nichole Chase) Books in Order

Nichole Chase's American Royalty books move the fairy-tale pressure of her earlier royal romances into the world of American politics. The setup is contemporary romance, but the backdrop is the White House, public mistakes, family expectations, and the exhausting fact that every bad decision can become a headline.

The series begins with Bedmates. Maddie McGuire is the president's daughter, and a brush with the law gives the press plenty to talk about. To repair her public image, she agrees to community service. Her partner is Jake Simmon, the vice president's son, who is attractive, irritating, and not especially interested in making her life easier. Their forced proximity gives the story its spark, while Maddie's need to prove she can do better gives it an emotional center.

This is not a story about policy details or a political thriller. It is about what happens when young people grow up inside a very public family and still want the freedom to make mistakes, choose their own future, and fall for the person they are not supposed to want. The political setting raises the stakes because personal trouble never stays personal for long.

Everyone is watching.

Crossing Lines continues the series with Caroline, another president's daughter whose attempt to get her life back on track creates a larger political problem. Her possible lifeline is Tame Wellington, a man who has made it clear he wants no part of the world she comes from. That tension, between private feelings and a public role, is the thread that links the books.

The tone is warm, romantic, and built around banter, attraction, and the messiness of being known before people know the real you. Chase gives the heroines responsibilities that matter, but leaves room for humor and for the awkward moments that come with trying to start over. The love interests are not simply dazzled by status, which lets the relationships feel more grounded.

For the clearest route into the series, start with Bedmates and then read Crossing Lines. The books share a setting and a broad political world, while each centers on its own central couple and conflict. Expect contemporary romance with family pressure, reputation problems, and just enough White House chaos to keep things moving.
