Royal Spin: A Novel

Summary

Emily in Paris meets Veep meets Red, White and Royal Blue in this sparkling fish-out-of-water romantic workplace comedy about a young American woman who trades a job at the White House for one at Buckingham Palace, from preeminent journalist and royal biographer Omid Scobie and National Book Award-winner Robin Benway, beloved authors who are bringing their real world expertise to the story.

The White House was her crowning achievement...until Buckingham Palace called.

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. Lauren may think she’s already navigated every type of crisis, but the Royal Household can be even more chaotic and confusing than Capitol Hill. And in an institution steeped in tradition and strict protocol, she 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 have become 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, romance, and her own happiness.

From London’s high society clubs to the sacred corridors and rarely seen spaces of Buckingham Palace, Royal Spin is an irresistibly entertaining story co-authored by celebrated writers Omid Scobie and Robin Benway. It reminds us that the most rewarding journeys are often the messiest—and that love and happiness, whether found in a palace or an office, are worth fighting for.
