âWhatâs Happening in Royal?â
NEWS FLASH, AprilâSources have linked the enigmatic Sheikh Ben Rassad, prince of Amythra, to Royalâs own Jamie Morris. This mystery man is fairly new to Royal, and keeps to himself. The gossip mill claims heâs filthy rich! And being the latest member inducted into the exclusive Texas Cattlemanâs Club gives him that extra cachet thatâs so irresistible to womenâ¦.

Who could have wished her harm? Witnesses say the dashing sheikh came to the rescueâ¦and has yet to release her from his protectionâ¦.
And do our gentlemen in the Cattlemanâs Club wish to tell us about their secret meetings being held late into the night? More to comeâ¦
