Welcome to Undercurrents of Romance with host Tracey Devlyn!
In Episode 59 of Undercurrents of Romance, Tracey Devlyn sits down with author Rebecca Armitage to discuss her debut romance, THE HEIR APPARENT. A Reese's Book Club Pick!
After a devastating family tragedy, Australian doctor Lexi Villiers is thrust back into the British royal spotlight as heir to the throne. Granted one year to decide her future, she must weigh a scheming uncle and a fractured family against the quiet farm and steadfast best friend she might be in love with—and choose whether her destiny will be ruled by duty or by her own heart.

“One of the best books I've read all year.” —Natasha Lester, New York Times bestseller
