Phillip
I never expected to be the prime target of a bachelor auction, compliments of my outrageous sister-in-law, the new queen. I don’t care if the internet has turned me into a royal hottie meme, I am not a piece of meat. So when the first eager single woman arrives at the palace, I send her packing. Only the damn woman refuses to leave.
Ruby
Why would I want to buy a date with an arrogant … would I want to buy a date with an arrogant rude prince? I’m here to do a job, which I desperately need, and no delusional prince is going to stand in my way. Obviously, the “royal hottie” believes the hype.
So how did I end up winning the top prize in a royal bachelor auction, and what will I do with him?
I can’t let myself fall for a playboy. Besides, we’re heading in opposite directions. He’s going on an international tour for a year or more, and I absolutely have to get back to the US. Only this prince is used to getting what he wants, and now he wants me.

A case of mistaken identity & a playboy Prince create the start of this story by Kylie Gilmore. After Prince Phillip’s long time girlfriend broke up with him & he realized she really wasn’t interested in him, he’s resisted getting close to anyone. Now his reputation has earned him the leading spot in a charity bachelor auction.
Ruby can’t believe the chance she’s been given. Her friend married a prince & now she’s been offered the opportunity to design the new spa rooms in the castle. Too bad she has to deal with the sexy arrogant Prince Phillip to get the job done!
This story illustrates how first impressions can lead to wrong conclusions. Phillip had just gotten off the phone call telling him about the auction when he sees Ruby. His reactions lead to Ruby’s feelings of him being an arrogant jerk. As they discover the true personalities of each other, the chemistry between them deepens. Whereas Ruby has to learn not to listen to gossip & appearances, Phillip needs to learn that his life is not the only one that matters. His charity calling is not more important than Ruby’s career. Both parties had lessons to learn before they could find their HEA.
