"Royal Spin is a hugely entertaining and engaging read that grabbed me and didn't let go. This workplace drama inside Buckingham Palace, with intrigue, gossip, and a soupçon of romance makes for a fun, page-turner of a book!" --Jasmine Guillory
The much-anticipated novel from preeminent journalist and royal biographer Omid Scobie and National Book Award-winner Robin Benway, two bestselling and beloved authors who are drawing from their real world expertise, an irresistibly entertaining story about a young American woman who takes a job at Buckingham Palace--where she finds herself tangled in a royal mess she might not be able to spin her way out of.
Narrated by Saskia Maarleveld
She can handle the press...but can she handle the Palace?
With the British monarchy reeling from a wave of scandals, young American politico Lauren Morgan is plucked from the White House press office to breathe new life into the Buckingham Palace communications team and improve the royal family's streak of bad headlines. But the Palace is an institution steeped in tradition and strict protocol, and Lauren quickly discovers that change is far from easy, or welcome, especially when you're dealing with culture clashes, displeased royal aides, and a risky new love interest--or two.
Just as Lauren finds her footing at work--and with a charming royal reporter who may be more than just a press contact--an unexpected encounter from her past threatens the career she's worked so hard to build. And when scandal looms over the dashing duke who Lauren has developed a special bond with, she finds herself torn between duty, loyalty, success, and happiness.
From London's high society clubs to the sacred corridors and rarely seen spaces of Buckingham Palace, Royal Spin is a fun, humorous, and heartfelt novel that reminds us of the importance of chasing your dreams, and that the most rewarding journeys are often the messiest.
