A Wall Street Journal bestseller!
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 goodbye.
My sisters and brother never forgave him, and my parents forbade me from speaking his name in our house ever again. For all intents and purposes, we were to pretend Royal Lockhart never existed.
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?
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a full-length, stand alone, older brother's best friend/unrequited love romance with a happily ever after and no cliffhanger. Enjoy! xoxo
