One more update before the weekend!

In today's chapter, EJ and Gina get more support than they expected when their relationship is outed by the tabloids, and from someone they don't expect it from. Now if only EJ's dad will be as easily convinced...

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

Happy Tuesday! Here's the first update this week, hopefully I'll keep them coming!

Gina's glowing from her date day with EJ, and finds herself getting closer to the answers she seeks. But she's about the learn about a distinct downside of royal life, as she feels the pressure on her (and EJ's) privacy for the first time

Fifteen more songs?! In this economy?!

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

A second update this week?! It's almost like I'm actually writing this fic again.

SPOILER ALERT: A drive in the mountains, a confession, a kiss.

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

Hey, look! An update! FINALLY!

Sorry, y'all. Things are nuts over here, I have no idea how consistently I'm going to be able to update. But I promise, this story will get finished!

In today's installment, we're going full blown Regency with a church service, a subtle touch of hands, and a knight in shining... sports car?

AAAAND I'm back!

I'm sorry I keep disappearing! Things are absolutely wild over here.

The bad: This week is the anniversary of my mom's death and it has been, predictably, a lot.

The good: I was accepted into a writer's mentorship program! I am working with a multi-published romance author to polish one of my original fiction novels (a very evolved version of In White Houses!) and it has been an absolutely amazing process so far. BUT the revisions for the program are eating up a lot of my writing time, making this one move along SLLLLLOOOOOOWWWLYY.

I'm hoping for three updates this week, but please don't hold me to that! I hope you're all still enjoying the updates at whatever pace they arrive!

In today's installment, Gina learns she'll be welcomed to Portania by more than just the royal family. So now she's got to get ready for her public debut, AND her date with EJ. No pressure.

EJ asks for a chance to explain, and Gina finds even more things in need of explanation at lunch with the Privy Council.

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

It's the morning after, and Ashlyn helps Gina make sense of what happened with EJ last night, while Gina promises Ashlyn they're going to make things right for her as Queen.

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

Oh, look, a Friday cliffhanger!

This was supposed to be yesterday's chapter, so it's not on purpose this time, I swear!

A royal dinner, a helping hand, and a near-miss kiss... but what does EJ mean by that?

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

AND AO3 is down when I actually have time to post today's update!

Le sigh.

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

The longer Gina spends trying to understand Portania, the less she understands her father's decision to leave. But even as she feels a kinship with Ashlyn, she's wary of the Duke... why is he looking at her and EJ like that?

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

Gina starts to learn more about the politics of Portania from Ashlyn and EJ, and now she's determined to do whatever she can to make things right.

Which will probably mean spending more time with a certain handsome viscount... oh darn...

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

AAAAND the inevitable breakup has arrived. Ricky finds out Gina's a princess from Instagram, and it goes... about how you'd expect.

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

Yeah, updates are more sporadic than I anticipated, sorry about that! I'll keep posting here when they drop because I don't know when each will be. Still aiming for daily, but life is lifing over here!

In today's installment, Gina finds out more about her father. Meanwhile, Ricky finds out.

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

A later in the day update, but an update nonetheless!

Gina meets King Wilhelm, and it... doesn't go quite as planned, though not in a bad way... at least she thinks. But then again, maybe nothing will go according to plan once the papers find out that Gina's in Portania...

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

Got one update in this week, anyway...

A little breakfast, a little lesson on royal expectations, and a lot of thinly veiled flirting...
