The Pretend Princess (Formally titled: Forever and a Day) (British Missives series Book 2)

FORMALLY TITLED, FOREVER AND A DAY In a world where position and rank are everything, can two souls stand firm when their desires and destinies clash?

FOREVER AND A DAY is the tale of Aimee Fremont, an impoverished girl forced to leave her family and live as a pretend princess in the French royal court to appease the growing unrest among the peasants. At seventeen, she is required to accept a betrothal to an English duke. Now living in the Queen’s House (Buckingham Palace) and awaiting her marriage, she relentlessly clashes with the duke’s handsome but mysterious, Shakespeare quoting secretary, Sir Ian Wetherby, the man who could reveal her true identity. The situation worsens when she discovers she has the French Blue (The Hope Diamond) amongst her baggage. She tries to hide the gem, but Sir Ian discovers it. She fears he will tell the Duke. But Sir Ian is tormented by the belief that she desires to marry the Duke to hide from her penniless past. Two hearts. Too many secrets. To be or not to be.
