Description

Felicity was the only person in the world who knew her daughter, Hope, is heir to the Stolvenia throne. Until a newspaper leaks the story and now everyone knows—including Hope's father, King Raphael. The media storm surrounding what's being called the century's most romantic story is far greater than either could have anticipated. On the plus side, with the public crazy about their "love" story, support for a referendum to dissolve the monarchy is waning. And when Raphael shows up at her door with a proposal, it doesn't take much convincing for Felicity to agree to a marriage in name only—at least until the votes are counted and the referendum fails. She needs to take care of her daughter and her wheelchair-bound sister who requires expensive medical care. Surely, becoming a queen and molding herself into a proper royal won't be that much of a sacrifice to make to give her family comfort and security. And if she still loves Raphael? Well, that was another thing she could deal with. Raphael has never stopped thinking about Felicity and wondering why she'd left him. She was the only woman he'd ever loved and for the past three years, he'd been trying to forget her. Now, not only had he found her, he'd also found out he was a father—something his devious late mother had tried to ensure he would never know. All that time, he'd thought Felicity cold and heartless, but now with her acting her part as the future queen, he's seeing the future he'd once dreamed of for them—and the chance to bond with his daughter, to boot. The only trouble is…he has no idea how to be a husband. Or a father. Or anything other than a king. He's lived for his people for so long—is it too late to learn how to live for himself, and open his heart to true love?

A sweet Leslie North story. I love this kind of story. A Queen who basically blackmailed the future king's girlfriend to leave when she was pregnant. When the new king found out about it, he immediately went to her. The little girl is so sweet. I love her reactions to things. Rafael quickly took to being a father and that was sweet to watch. I liked how the struggles of becoming royalty and how Rafael finally acknowledged it. Very good book

Felicity thought about when she fell in love with Rafael, and wondered what it would have been like if they had stayed together. But now she knew- no privacy. She was the mother of a royal child, and the whole world now knew. The whole world had gathered around her small apartment she shared with her daughter Hope. The years of keeping Hope’s father a secret was over. The reporters were relentless and shouted question to her through the closed panes of the window. Felicity thought when rafael’s mother- the Queen- passed away fear would stop. She wouldn’t have to worry anyone was watching her. But she’d been so wrong. Her twin sister Joy who was disabled asked if felicity thought she should move . This was what Felicity could afford with her pay. When she wasn’t working she was with Joy or caring for Hope. She worked at Westwood Crossings with a human resources position. Joy would have helped but her disability payment barely covered Joy’s needs. Joy still suffered from the car accident from when they were nine. Rafael was going to Iowa to face Felicity and see his daughter. Family meant everything to felicity and she would do anything to keep them safe and happy. They were going to have to wait out they weekend but Monday Felicity had to go to work she couldn’t afford to be fired with money so tight a flat tire would blow up her whole budget. There was a knock at the door that is different from the reporters. She was drawn to the door and then she realized how quiet it had gotten outside than she saw it was Rafael at her door. Felicity let him in and then he saw his daughter , heir to the throne of Stolvenia. Hope wanted him to pick her up and he did. One minute he was a man, the next he was a father. It was almost like he's known her all along. Joy offered to stay with Hope so they could talk. They needed to formulate a plan. Rafael said he was sure his mother was forceful but why didn’t she come to him? Felicity said it seemed simpler to go along with it. She implied she discussed it with you, thay you were on board with everything she said. Rafael said there is going to be a referendum in Stolvenia. The people are going to decide whether to remove the monarch from power Now that the opposition has seized on his secret family -and the payments from the monarch to keep it quiet they’re trying to frame this as proof the monarch can’t be trusted. They needed to redirect this narrative. He also added Hope was going to need security . She has to have appropriate housing, a team of people ensuring her safety. Felicity said she didn’t have the money for a security team and rafael said he had a plan. He wanted her to come to Stolvenia with him as well as Joy. All she’d have to do is play a role for him. T carry on the charade they were in love and marry him.
I did love this book. Of course another great read from MS North so happy she keeps writing them and I get to read them. I loved Rafael and Felicity and of course Hope and how they interacted.Hope definitely added to this book she was so cute!!!! I loved how when Rafael first held her he went from a man to a father in seconds. I loved the closeness between Joy and Felicity and how devoted they were to each other. The only addition Ican think I would have liked in this book was a backstory for Rafael and Felicity - maybe at a future time -I can always hope. I loved how kate won the people of Stolvenia over to her even the reporters. I loved that rafael gave Kate a way out. I read this in one setting didn’t want to put it down. I loved the pace and plot. I loved all the characters -except the queen who had already passed away- and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend it.
