“But all those scripts—”

“I looked through all of them. They’re all the same. Tentpole action movies with cardboard characters. I’d only take them for the money, and honestly? I’m doing fine on money.” He drew her closer to him. “What I don’t have is you, if you say no.”

Her hands tugged at his shirt, and she felt overwhelmed. He was going to give up his career to be with her? Her? “Luke, I don’t want to hold you back.”

“You’re not holding me back, baby. I love you. Being your husband is the next role I want to take on.” He kissed her gently and then paused. “You never said if you love me—”

“I love you,” she yelled in his ear and flung her arms around him. “I love you, you foolish man.”

He laughed and picked her up, swinging her around. “So does this mean we’re getting married?”

She clung to him, her head whirling. “Luke, if you’re sure . . .”

He set her down again and gave her a stern look. “Is this the part where I should tell you about how much I can learn about acting from you? Because you play a role every day, too, you know. Except yours actually means something. And if I can be at your side every day and in your bed every night? It sounds like the role of a lifetime to me.”

Alex bit her lip, worrying. “We’ll have to ask the queen for permission.”

His hands slid to her hips and he pulled her against him. “I have it on good authority that someone’s going to intervene for us and convince the queen that a royal princess marrying an actor is a very good thing for the country. Now, do you want to marry me or not?”

“I do! I do. So badly.”

“Then shut up and kiss me.” He grinned and leaned in.

She flung her arms around him and kissed him with all the happiness and joy in her body. Maybe even modern princesses could get a happy ever after, too.

It turned out that the queen did not need much convincing after all.
