**Her Summer Prince by Freda Ann**
Good Morning,
Everyone! So thrilled to see you all today! Today I am pleased to welcome back
an author I featured not that long ago. In fact, that book had Summer in the
title as well if I am not mistaken. She is here letting us all know about her
latest release. Please allow me to once again feature on the blog Freda Ann and
her release, HER SUMMER PRINCE … Plus, a GIVEAWAY!

**BIO**
Freda
was born in southern New Jersey but grew up in Florida. She has loved
writing her entire life. After retiring from a career in law enforcement, she
knew it was time to fulfill her lifelong dream of being a published
author.
She's the author of The Hawaii Series, proudly
named from her love of the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. It's a three-book series
with all of them written as standalone books.
Freda loves her large family, horses, dogs, cat,
and close friends. She hosts monthly family dinners at her home in the country,
which she shares with her husband.
She loves baking (she owned and operated a
cupcake business for years), cooking, yoga, crocheting, nature and traveling
with the love of her life.
What helps her write? Music makes her happy! If
music doesn't give her the right motivation, she puts on a romantic movie,
usually from the Hallmark Channel, which she can't get enough of!
Freda speaks her mind and pushes perfection to
its limit. She strives to be her best, most positive self she can be in life.
With time, determination, and practice, she believes anything is possible.

This sweet/clean Hallmark
style love story will make you laugh, cry, and give you goosebumps all the way
to a happy ending! *
Prince of Shorewick and next in line to the throne, Harry has
more than enough on his plate, between his royal duties and overbearing Queen
mother. During one fateful summer in Bliss Cay, his life changes forever
when he meets the girl of his dreams.
Celebrating her graduation on the island, Charlotte Warren is
swept off her feet by her knight in shining armor, falling hard and fast for
this dashing stranger.
When a horrible tragedy comes calling, Harry is forced to
pack up and leave Bliss without a moment’s notice for the Kingdom of Shorewick.
In the mad dash to get home, Harry realizes too late that he left without
saying goodbye.
Ten years pass of lost contact, and only now has Charlotte’s
heart begun to mend after the heartache Harry inflicted. Now a successful
businesswoman and mother to her beautiful son Noah and furry companion
Chloe, Charlotte finally takes the jump and decides to return to Bliss Cay for
the first time since that fateful summer.
Returning to the island is a step towards conquering her
past, but instead she finds herself face to face with the man who shattered her
heart into a million pieces.
The last decade has changed them both. Harry has the
responsibility of the monarchy looming over him, yet all he wants is to live
his life with the woman he loves…a commoner in the eyes of the monarchy.
**TRAILER*
**EXCERPT**
“Hey—you! The lady said to leave her alone. I suggest you do it. Now!”
I scan the direction where the contemptuous voice came from, and a tall
dark figure steps from the shadows full of grace and virility.
Good Lord, where did the Adonis come from? I swear my heart skips a beat. A sigh of relief escapes me as my eyes,
acting of their own volition, are drawn to what I can see of his face.
Not stopping there, they examine his firm features and confident
shoulders. Please tell me I’m not dreaming. This guy is a photographer’s dream. Whew!
My involuntary perusal of the individual in front of us seems to be
amusing as a corner of his mouth curls up. He pulls his gaze away, eyeing the
idiot who has me pinned against the railing of the dock, an
arm on each side of me.
When I strutted to the end of the dock moments ago, my focus was on a
sliver of the moon peeking out from the horizon, and while I was snapping
photos I suppose I should’ve been more aware of my surroundings.
Barely able to stand, the man restricting my movement glares at the
Adonis with glassy eyes, as if he was from another planet. “I saw—“
He hangs his head low, looking pale before finishing, “I—saw her
f—first.”
“Huh. So you saw her last year…before I proposed to her on this beach?” I raise my brows as
Adonis fans his hand through the air while easing
closer.
The guy, reeking of alcohol, glances in the direction Mr. Perfect
motioned to. His legs wobble when he attempts to turn back around.
While the guy struggles to stay upright, Adonis flicks his head at me
for my attention. Duh…does he not realize he’s had it from the minute he showed up? I tip my chin up, watching to see what he’s going to do.
He uses dummy proof sign language, pointing to the inebriated man and
motioning for me to move out of the way when he grabs him.
Bobbing my head, he wastes no time going into action and I take off
running halfway down the dock to watch for the fallout.
As luck would have it, not a hair was harmed on his head or anywhere
else on that hunky body. The weakened man didn’t even attempt to put up a
fight.
Holding tightly onto him, they pass by me with a strong odor of alcohol
in their wake. I trail behind flailing my hand in front of my face trying to breathe fresh air.
At the end of the dock, he mumbles something to the guy before pointing
him to the left. He gives him a push off for
good measure. I’m surprised he didn’t fall over.
He watches intently until the lanky frame fades into the night. As Mr. Perfect turns to face me, the light reveals his
compelling blue eyes with a faint hint of humor bubbling beneath the surface.
Feeling more nervous than I was while being held against my will, I
exhale and lock eyes with my savior. “Thank you, um…for that.” I point to the
dead air feeling like a dumb blonde. “I was afraid I might
have to resort to unladylike measures before you came along.” I snicker.
He grins looking devilishly handsome. The
shadow of his well-groomed, closely shaven beard gives him an even manlier
aura, if that’s even possible. Bearded men aren’t typically my type, but the
guy totally rocks facial hair.
“I was happy to be of assistance.” He gives me a sideways nod. Well, that was different. Who nods like that?
The man has a very appealing British accent which compliments his tall,
dark and handsome physique. Could Adonis get any more perfect?
Stupefied, my jaw drops as I watch her strut to the end of the dock
holding her son’s hand. Her son. I stand frozen, wishing this was a bad dream.
After collecting myself, I make my way off the dock and turn left.
Anxiety fuels me. Bare feet and all I take off running down the beach leaving Dawson in the wind. I realize that my worst fear has come true.
Charlotte will never be mine again. I’m too late. Our dream of
being together forever has gone up in smoke.
On the verge of hyperventilating, I drop to my knees trying to catch my breath. Looking up, I stare at the waves lapping on the
shore. Our happily ever after is never going to happen.
Dawson catches up and stops behind me, panting just as hard. When he’s
able to speak, he utters, “Sir, are you trying to kill us both?” He forces the
words out.
Sighing at the thought, I wonder if death would be any less painful. It
feels as if someone has reached inside my chest, ripped my heart out, thrown it
on the ground and stomped on it.
Gazing at the water feeling numb, I remain on my hands and knees for
who knows how long. As the sun sets, Dawson asks, “Harry, maybe we should retire to the villa?”
I force myself up to my feet. Raking my hands over my face, I turn and
slowly walk home. Passing two couples giggling and holding hands only strengthens the
numbness I feel.
