    About this audiobook

    His name is Royal, but he's no prince charming. He's not even a prince-though you could say I loved him once upon a time.

    He was my older brother's best friend. Growing up, he sat at our dinner table every Sunday, teased me mercilessly, and pretended I annoyed him. When I was old enough, he took me on my first date.

    Royal taught me how to drive. Escorted me to my junior prom. Gave me my first kiss . . . amongst other things. He was my first taste of toe-curling, all-consuming, can't-sleep love.

    We had our whole lives ahead of us. There was never anyone else for me but him. And then he disappeared. No letter. No explanation. Not even a good-bye.

    I've spent the last seven years trying in vain to forget my first love, but just when I think I've finally moved on, guess who's back in town?

      A PRECIOUS Moment In Time

      There’s something about Lambrook Hall that always draws me back and I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been here. I don’t really care if it’s hundreds, to be honest. I can’t resist it. I’m in the dining room again now. Not the ballroom or the lib

      The author was dragging the reason why the Ml left for 7 plus years. Could have been told in two chapter “for dramatic effect” but dragged it on for 20+ chapters.
