Lavinia had become a pawn for her father to benefit him only. So when she married the king, she thought all would go well. That turned out to be the last thing that happened. Now she must figure out how to get herself in a better light so that she will not be forgotten.

Prince Eric has always adored his best friend Lavinia. He has seen her come through some very rough things. Now he is not sure how to make a relationship work since she is considered barren. If only he could go back in time.

Being a widow is not what Lavinia wanted at such a young age. She was not unhappy to see the King die, but now she knows she will be cast aside. She has to figure out a way to get back in the good graces of the court. Sharing one kiss with the future king only makes things worse. She has no idea what evil things her father has in mind. It will be a race against time to see what happens first, Lavinia accomplishing her plan or her father destroying it.

Emotionally charged and against all odds is what this story seemed like to me. Ms. Grady has a way of weaving a tale that cannot be denied. The characters entwine themselves around your heart so that you must know what is going to happen next. Being a strong woman is just one of many things that help Lavinia stay on top of her crises. Eric, on the other hand, falters a lot and is not sure how to make his heart’s desire happen. This fantasy is so simple yet spoke volumes in the two main characters quest to find love. It will pull at your heartstrings and definitely is one that will not leave my mind any time soon.
