Will Jamie be bound by duty or follow his heart? The Princess Diaries meets Red, White and Royal Blue in this deliciously royal queer YA romance from the bestselling co-author of If This Gets Out.

Jamie expected a cake, not a crown, for his seventeenth birthday, but when he finds out he is the prince of a tiny European country called Mitanor, life will never be the same.

Erik, the spare heir of neighbouring country Sunstad, is feeling stifled and miserable as his golden-boy brother prepares to get married. So when he's offered the opportunity to teach an American how to be a prince, he leaps at the chance.

But in between garden parties, balls and lessons in royal etiquette, sparks fly between the two princes, and they are forced to choose between love and duty.

Reviews for The Rules of Royalty: A deliciously royal queer YA romance from the bestselling co-author of If This Gets Out

Dietrich has written a quintessential gay romance. Everything about it-its tantalizing premise, its highly engaging plot, its to-die-for characters-is practically perfect, and it's irresistibly readable, to boot. The pages fly by as readers root for the starcrossed boyfriends, with whom readers will have doubtlessly fallen in love, and hope for a happy ending. Royalty rules! -- Michael Cart * Booklist * Immediate and emotional first-person chapters alternating between Jamie and Erik detail the highs and lows of royal teenage life in this slow-burn romance by Dietrich (The Pledge), which is studded with high-society extravagance and old-world charm and which paints a familiar and convincing portrait of the responsibilities and excesses of a monarchy. * Publishers Weekly * Readers will enjoy indulging in the deliciously slow-burn romance between the kind, honest, and adorable boys, who narrate in alternating first-person chapters...this cozy royal love story is thoroughly delightful. * Kirkus *
