[Note from Frolic: We’re excited to kick off the Eat Your Heart Out series, featuring recipes from some of your favorite romance novels. Up this week is Royally Screwed by Emma Chase!]

Nicholas Arthur Frederick Edward Pembrook, Crowned Prince of Wessco, aka “His Royal Hotness,” is wickedly charming, devastatingly handsome, and unabashedly arrogant―hard not to be when people are constantly bowing down to you.

Then, one snowy night in Manhattan in a family owned coffee shop named, Amelia’s, the prince meets a dark haired beauty who doesn’t bow down.

Instead, she throws a pie in his face.

Nicholas wants to find out if she tastes as good as her pie, and this heir apparent is used to getting what he wants.
