This sweet/clean Hallmark style love story will make you laugh, cry, and give you goosebumps all the way to a happy ending! *
Prince of Shorewick and next in line to the throne, Harry has more than enough on his plate, between his royal duties and overbearing Queen mother. During one fateful summer in Bliss Cay, his life changes forever when he meets the girl of his dreams.
Celebrating her graduation on the island, Charlotte Warren is swept off her feet by her knight in shining armor, falling hard and fast for this dashing stranger.
When a horrible tragedy comes calling, Harry is forced to pack up and leave Bliss without a moment’s notice for the Kingdom of Shorewick. In the mad dash to get home, Harry realizes too late that he left without saying goodbye.
Ten years pass of lost contact, and only now has Charlotte’s heart begun to mend after the heartache Harry inflicted. Now a successful businesswoman and mother to her beautiful son Noah and furry companion Chloe, Charlotte finally takes the jump and decides to return to Bliss Cay for the first time since that fateful summer.
Returning to the island is a step towards conquering her past, but instead she finds herself face to face with the man who shattered her heart into a million pieces.
The last decade has changed them both. Harry has the responsibility of the monarchy looming over him, yet all he wants is to live his life with the woman he loves…a commoner in the eyes of the monarchy.
{EXCERPT}
Stupefied, my jaw drops as I watch her strut to the end of the dock holding her son’s hand. Her son. I stand frozen, wishing this was a bad dream.
After collecting myself, I make my way off the dock and turn left. Anxiety fuels me. Bare feet and all I take off running down the beach leaving Dawson in the wind. I realize that my worst fear has come true.
Charlotte will never be mine again. I’m too late. Our dream of being together forever has gone up in smoke.
On the verge of hyperventilating, I drop to my knees trying to catch my breath. Looking up, I stare at the waves lapping on the shore. Our happily ever after is never going to happen.
Dawson catches up and stops behind me, panting just as hard. When he’s able to speak, he utters, “Sir, are you trying to kill us both?” He forces the words out.
Sighing at the thought, I wonder if death would be any less painful. It feels as if someone has reached inside my chest, ripped my heart out, thrown it on the ground and stomped on it.
Gazing at the water feeling numb, I remain on my hands and knees for who knows how long. As the sun sets, Dawson asks, “Harry, maybe we should retire to the villa?”
I force myself up to my feet. Raking my hands over my face, I turn and slowly walk home. Passing two couples giggling and holding hands only strengthens the numbness I feel.
