Jozette Allah-Mensah fell in love with Sharkboy and has believed in happily ever afters ever since. (True story.) A double alum of American University, when she’s not working in the D.C. nonprofit policy world, writing love stories, or gushing over how much she loves The Last Kingdom, you can find her on her porch with a cuppa in her charming Maryland town.

How to hate a prince is jozette's debut novel.

In the first grade,

Prince Dimitri has finally pushed his royal title to the limit. Stuck in a whirlpool of bad press following the death of his older brother, he’s about to lose any chance at calling himself King unless he gets married. But the broody bad boy locked his heart away long ago, with no plans of sharing the key. 

That is, until he nearly runs Grace over during a daring escape from the paparazzi, blasting them onto the front page of tabloids everywhere. Thrown into a whirlwind fake engagement, the two must appear head-over-heels for the cameras, or risk losing everything they think they want.

But when a moment of connection around love and loss leads to confusion behind the scenes, suddenly their futures aren’t so clear. As real feelings blossom beneath the act, they must decide, when the camera flashes fade, are they really still pretending?
