About the Author
Writing Journey
Jill writes inspirational romantic fiction with a medical theme. Her most recent books, the Royal Medicine Series, Royally Confused and Royally Engaged, are Selah Award Finalists. Her debut novels are part of the A Dose of Love series. Each story can stand alone, but both feature strong female leads facing challenging life circumstances while finding love along the way. Jill’s best-selling debut novel, Harte-Broken, was inspired by her love of romance and her own walk through the grief of losing her mother on the same day of her daughter’s birth. It raises the question, “What happens when the best day is also the worst one?"
Jill is a physician turned stay-at-home mom, who loves coffee, travel, and anything glittered. She treasures spending time with her husband and children, who are her heart and greatest joy.

Isn’t it every girl’s dream to become a princess? Not Claire Thomson’s. An orthopedic surgeon, Claire enjoys the rigors of surgery and medical research. Her dream of landing a spot at Halford University in Boston seems so close she can taste it. As the top academic center in the nation, it lies just a few miles from her sole living relative and best friend—Margaret Thomson, her granny.
Claire Thomson grew up without a father, and this missing piece of her life’s puzzle leaves her feeling unworthy. But Claire has landed a one-year fellowship at Oxmund University in Amorley, and she intends to find that puzzle piece—back at the same university where her recently deceased mother, Mona, met her father years ago.
Claire reads a letter written to her by her mother, finally sharing the truth about her father’s identity—the prince of Amorley. Sadly, he too has recently passed away.
Now parentless, Claire takes her rascal golden retriever, Milo, and funny, Bingo-loving Granny to the castle to meet the queen mother, her paternal grandmother, as well as her stepmother, Queen Maurelle. Along the way, Claire almost collides with a man on horseback, Ethan Kane, who is handsome and kind, and as she later discovers, promised to marry Abigail Fulton, daughter of a wealthy parliament member.
What dragons will Claire have to slay along the way to find her father’s legacy? Will Claire have to sacrifice her stethoscope for love, for a crown?
