Royal Date (35 page)
Authors: Sariah Wilson
“We’ll get through this. You will always have me by your side to face every obstacle in your way.”
“Promise?” I knew he would, but I liked hearing it.
“In case you were distracted, I just made some very serious vows back there, promising just that.”
“Speaking of which, I am so not obeying you.”
He laughed and planted a kiss on the tip of my nose. “I didn’t expect you would.”
Giacomo looked at us. “Security has made sure the courtyard is safe. You may now go out onto the balcony.”
“Ready to see your people, Princess?”
“Only if we’re together.”
“Always together.”
He kissed the back of my hand as the doors swung open. This time I didn’t mind him kissing my hand. The roar of the crowd was deafening as we smiled and waved, and walked out onto the balcony, hand in hand, in our first official appearance as a royal couple.
A royal couple who had every intention of living very, very happily ever after.
As always, I am so grateful that you chose to spend your time in a world I created. I hope you loved Nico and Kat just as much as I do.

And if you enjoyed this book, I would be totally and completely grateful if you would leave me a review on sites like Amazon and Goodreads.
Thanks again!
First off, a big thank you to everyone who nominated this book in Amazon’s Kindle Scout program and helped me get to this point. I so appreciate every last one of you!
Thank you to Amazon and Kindle Press for selecting my book to share with the world. Thank you to Scarlett Rugers for her amazing cover and Julie Coulter Bellon for her help with the book description. Thank you to Ric Peeler for sharing his knowledge about skiing, and special thanks to Lisa Ladle for helping me put in all those Italian words.
I also need to thank my beta readers who encouraged me and helped make the story even better: Charity Byrd, Nancy Michelsen, Scarlet Bushman, Candace Wilson, Sherise Robertson, Kris Anderson, Kathryn Olivier, and Nicole Cooper.
Love and gratitude to my children, who sometimes do their best to derail this whole writing thing, and to my husband Kevin, for being my biggest supporter, for always believing in me, and for showing me the meaning of true love.
Sariah Wilson has never jumped out of an airplane, never climbed Mount Everest, and is not a former CIA operative. She has, however, been madly, passionately in love with her soulmate and is a fervent believer in happily-ever-afters—which is why she writes romance.
Royal Date
is her fifth happily-ever-after novel. She grew up in Southern California, graduated from Brigham Young University (go Cougars!) with a semi-useless degree in history, and is the oldest of nine (yes, nine) children. She currently lives with the aforementioned soulmate and their four children in Utah, along with three tiger barb fish, a cat named Tiger, and a recently departed hamster that is buried in the backyard (and has nothing at all to do with tigers).
