Series background & context
The Royal series drops readers into the shimmering Mediterranean kingdom of Meridia, where fairy tale palaces sit beside modern intelligence agencies. On the surface these novels look like royalty romances, princes and princesses in designer clothes, glittering balls, and lush seaside views. Underneath, they are about security details, terrorist threats, and the pressure of leading a country while trying to protect the people you love.
The first book, Royal Target, introduces CIA agent Janessa Rogers on assignment with the Meridian royal family. Her job is to help shore up security, not fall for Prince Garrett, the heir who needs a fake fiance to close holes in the palace’s protection plan. Posing as Garrett’s future bride blurs professional lines, and the threat of a terrorist plot targeting the family forces Janessa to weigh duty against a very real relationship.
In Royal Secrets we see the monarchy from a new angle. Widowed CIA officer Alora DeSanto accepts a position as Janessa’s assistant and moves with her young sons into the royal chateau. There she crosses paths with Prince Stefano, who is recovering from both physical injury and emotional blows. Their cautious friendship grows into something more just as blackmail and espionage swirl around the palace and old enemies move against the crown.
Later books, including Royal Brides, Royal Heir and Royal Duty, follow new couples linked to the Meridian court as security crises hit at the worst possible moments, often just before weddings. Bomb threats, assassination attempts, and political maneuvering keep the stakes high, but the heart of each story stays with individual characters trying to balance faith, personal happiness, and responsibility to a nation.
Taken together, the Royal novels give readers a complete picture of a fictional monarchy under pressure. Familiar faces reappear from book to book, and there are quiet crossovers with Abramson’s CIA operatives from other series. The overall tone is hopeful, with danger and duty sitting side by side with family traditions, friendships, and the kind of love story that feels earned rather than effortless.
