The Royal Pursuit (30 page)

Stacey looked at Kent. “What would we
tell our family and friends?” She looked back at Ann. “Can we still
visit them for the holidays?”

Ann nodded.

Kent paused then said, “We’ll just
tell them we accepted a top secret job in another
country.”

“
It would be great to
explore new worlds.” Stacey grinned.

“
We accept,” Kent
decided.

“
Great! You won’t be
sorry,” Hathor said.

Ann sighed in satisfaction. Everything
worked out very well. She was glad to have Stacey in her life
again. She had missed her friendship. Most of all, she was grateful
she got the chance to be the Queen of Raz and Hathor’s
wife.

Hathor was right. When they first met,
he told her that being a queen wasn’t boring. In fact, it was the
most exciting job she could imagine having. She went over to Hathor
and hugged him, enjoying the fact that they would share many more
adventures together.

Quick Afterward

Eight months later, Ann gave birth to
Amanda. Two months after that, Athen announced the birth of his and
Optima’s firstborn son. The Nicals, greatly encouraged by this,
began their search for other humans in the galaxies to
marry.

Leader Paff and his wife, Halima,
announced the arrival of their twins, a boy and a girl that same
year. Second Commander Jaz and Guard Falon had a girl one year
later.

Stacey and Kent discovered Stacey’s
pregnancy a year after that, and they thoroughly enjoyed
discovering new things about the universe and had no regrets about
leaving Earth.

Enchanted Galaxy Series by Ruth Ann Nordin

(This is a romantic fantasy
series.)

A Royal Engagement:
An ordinary young woman on Earth learns she’s
destined to be the queen on another planet...and she’s already
engaged to a young man she doesn’t know.

Royal Hearts:
An old nemesis sends Ann Kerwin back in time on
Earth to ensure she never gets to become the Queen of Raz. It’s up
to Hathor to follow her and compete with her old boyfriend for her
affections. Because if she doesn’t choose Hathor, all they have
will be lost.

The Royal Pursuit:
On another world, a dying group called the Nicals
are desperate. If they don’t do something drastic, they will become
extinct. With nothing left to lose, they steal the power in the
Olympians’ Stone of Immortality, thereby saving themselves, but
unknowingly dooming the Olympians. A mysterious stranger promises
to help them, though whether he truly means to help them isn’t
clear, especially when he kidnaps Queen Ann.

Royal Heiress:
The new queen has been crowned, and her first
order of business is to pick a husband. Thankfully, her dilemma is
put off by her first mission: a trip to the lost city of Atlantis
on planet Earth. Or…this might be the trip that leads her to the
right man to be king.
