Publisher Description

A ROYAL FARCE is the hilarious first book in the Retail to Riches series, which follows a plucky big box store employee on her journey from fighting to pay the bills to discovering she’s married royalty. Fans of Superstore will love this charming story. 


"Heffernan has a way with the back-and-forth banter that I love to read between characters...This really was a sweet, funny, five-star experience!" - Sara, Chick Lit Central


Lila needs to pay her soul-crushing debt. Pierre needs a wife. Maybe they can help each other. 


Once she finishes these renovations, Lila can finally sell the money pit she’d been living in and get back on her feet. But on box store wages, that'll take decades. Then her friend Pierre proposes the perfect solution.


Pierre needs a green card. If Lila marries him, he’ll pay to create her dream home. Win-win, right? One problem: who is going to believe the gorgeous, brilliant investment banker fell for plain little Lila? Everyone, if the two of them have any say in it. 


Not even their closest friends or family can suspect the truth. Lila fakes the walk of shame, feigns total surprise at Pierre's staged public proposal, and plans their wedding with a single-minded determination rivaled only by her pet Yorkie begging for treats.


Their staged relationship is so perfect, Lila starts to believe it’s real. Then Pierre’s brother drops a bombshell: they are royalty, princes of a tiny island nation, and Lila is decidedly not princess material. 


Now, instead of studs and sandpaper, Lila finds herself worrying about titles and tiaras. Will Lila get her happily ever after, or will her prince decide she's not so charming after all?

 

"Wonderful banter and I loved all the quirky characters." - Comfy Chair Books

 

"Heffernan has a way with the back-and-forth banter that I love to read between characters, and what I really like is when the protagonist discovers new things about themselves that really creates the character evolution I hold so dear to my heart." - The Book Bag

 

"If you enjoy the hugely popular royal romance genre then you will enjoy this :) ...Laura is a 'new to me' author and I really enjoyed her writing style." - Jo, Reading is My Bliss


A Royal Farce will appeal to fans of: Melanie Summers, Becky Monson, Tracie Banister, Whitney Dineen, and Teri Wilson.

Sweet book

This is a nice take on normal girl meets royalty. The author is an excellent writer. If anything, the story wasn’t long enough! Regardless, I’ve happily bought the 2nd book in the series.

Great!

Great story! I loved the fact that Lila got mad when she found out who Pierre was!

The book it’s really well written and the story flows smoothly, with lots of funny moments! I even found myself laughing out loud a couple of times.

Can’t wait to read the second one!
