Heir, Apparently: A Novel BY Kara McDowell

Heir, Apparently by Kara McDowell is a high-stakes romantic comedy that follows American teen Wren Wheeler as she navigates the chaotic aftermath of accidentally marrying the King of England. Freshman year at Northwestern is stressful enough without this royal twist, and Wren can’t tell anyone about the summer apocalypse she barely survived. Trying to forget Theo, the king who left her on a Greek island and took her dog, is no easy task.

Desperate to rescue her dog, Comet the Apocalypse Dog, Wren reunites with Theo in a chemistry-charged encounter caught by paparazzi. Now under the royal spotlight, Wren becomes a problem for the monarchy, forcing her to fly back to London with Theo. Joining the chaotic journey are friends Naomi and Brooke, and Theo’s siblings, including his rival brother, Henry.

The universe has other plans, though, and their plane crashes over the Atlantic, leaving them stranded on a remote tropical island. Faced with poisonous animals, catastrophic injuries, a brotherly rivalry, and an ill-timed volcano, the group must work together to survive. Amidst the turmoil, Wren and Theo confront their unresolved feelings, questioning whether their future holds heartbreak or a happily ever after.
