Prince Harry Boy to Man — William Kuhn

It's 2007, Harry's twenty-three and he's up against a wall. The army considers him a security risk. The press thinks he's a spoiled brat. Girls like him for the prince he doesn't want to be. He hopes service in Afghanistan will let him prove he's an ordinary guy who can do a rough job under less than royal conditions. Instead, deployment exposes the vulnerability under his bad boy persona and results in a comic coming of age he definitely didn't see coming. What's a press-shy prince to do when he falls for the disguise of a female CNN reporter? She threatens to have him sent home before he's even got started. Nor does he anticipate making an ally and gay best friend in a brother officer named Mustafa. And what's his former nanny doing on the plane to Kabul? There's also a warlord driving a Mercedes and a colonel who'd much rather be reading Shakespeare. Together they stumble upon buried trauma from Harry's childhood. If he can learn how to cope with all that, he may glimpse the horizons of a future life he never dreamed was possible.
