Coaches, and a Matchmaking King In The Surprise Princess, Book 6 of USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's acclaimed The Wedding Series, King Jozef of Bariavak continues his search for his long-missing granddaughter, and State Department security official Hunter Pierce is on the case again. This time the clues lead to Ashton, Wisconsin, and the athletic offices of Ashton University. There, young Katie Davis works as an administrative assistant and Brad Spencer as a basketball coach, and both soon will be caught up in international intrigue and some royal matchmaking.
You are introduced to Brad and the Ashton campus in Hoops, the prequel to The Surprise Princess. Flash back a few years and Brad is a star on the basketball team, coached by C. J. Draper and tutored by Carolyn Trent. The latter two return in The Surprise Princess as mentors to Katie, and, okay, they might take part in a little matchmaking themselves. Book 6, The Surprise PrincessA Princess? No WayKatie is a perfectly ordinary young woman living a perfectly ordinary life in small-town Wisconsin .
isn't she? The most interesting thing about her is that she works for the men's basketball office at Ashton.

So these people coming around saying she could be the long-lost granddaughter of the King of Bariavak have to be wrong . don't they? Brad has a real soft spot for Katie.
She stirs his protectiveness, his penchant for the underdog, and, possibly, certain other reactions he's not about to indulge. So he's going to do his damnedest to make sure Katie gets all that she deserves, including the crown that might be her right . even though it means Her Royal Highness will never again look at a basketball coach from Wisconsin like he's the king of her heart. Hoops (an RITA Finalist)The Coach and the ProfessorCarolyn Trent's logically mapped journey to becoming the perfect professor of English was hijacked the day she became academic adviser to the Ashton University men's basketball team.
The hijacker was C. J. Draper, the team's infuriating, irreverent and sexy new coach. C. J. has never let adversity stop him - if he had he'd never have gotten this far. He's not about to start by letting Professor Trent derail him. If he chose to rattle her ivory tower it was just for the fun of seeing the fiery woman beneath the marble-cool exterior .
