He carries a nation on his shoulders.
She carries a baby on hers.
Can there be a future for the King-to-be and the secret teenage mom?

A love story about living with your mistakes, conquering your fears and breaking the internet.

The Heir is first book in the YA series Royalteen by Randi Fuglehaug and Anne Gunn Halvorsen.

When prince Karl Johan, Kalle amongst friends, and newcomer Eileen start to develop warm feelings for each other, Eileen is charmed but also sceptic, for many reasons. Party prince Kalle is a regular figure in the tabloids and the gossip blogs – one of them was run anonymously by Eileen herself, until she was exposed. Eileen is painfully aware that dating the future king might put them both in an impossible situation and she has not told Kalle or anyone else about her even bigger secret, which is also the reason why she moved from her hometown. The fourteen month old kid at home is not her baby brother. He is her son.
