Unobtainable Bachelor

Cole HarlowI've been able to keep my distance from most family obligations for years. My parents prefer it that way too, for fear my less-than-royal behavior might tarnish the Harlow good name. Since I'm not in line for the throne, I see no reason I should be bound by any rules but my own.Corandian royal law states that upon marriage, all royal descendants must take permanent residence in Corandia, to protect the lineage. Since I am currently enjoying every amenity the Bachelor Towers in Boston has to offer, I'm in no rush for things to change. Even now, as I sow my royal oats in the States, I know anything this good won't last forever.When my eldest brother called to inform me of his engagement, I was happy for him. Honestly, I'm glad I'm not the one about to get tied down. Apparently, he hasn't been the sweet, obedient son my parents had believed, and now he needs my help with a mistress who threatens to reveal all.Since I can't talk him into locking her away in a dungeon, it's up to me to ensure any rumors, true or not, are crushed. That means I'll need to get her off the grid until after my brother's wedding. After that, it'll be too late for her to do any real damage and I can return to what I love most, being unobtainable.
