I have edited the first couple of chapters so far. There are going to be mature scenes in this book because it is more of an adult romance. This story and hopefully a novel, is going to be about a teenage woman in more historical times where Dukes and princesses and princes were very common in any city and stuff like that. Before I start the book she already has a problem that you will find out later when you read. She writes him a letter in the first chapter as said in the title and in the second chapter she will be meeting the Duke she has written the letter to. I really hope this book goes far, I am really ecstatic about it and I hope you all enjoy it too!!!!!! I have edited up to about half of this book so far, it is not a complete edit, but a lot better than what it was before, please enjoy. JUST BARE WITH ME FOR A BIT I WILL BE RE-CREATING A SUMMARY FOR THIS BOOK, A BETTER SUMMARY, BUT I AM JUST GOING TO FINISH WRITING IT FIRST, THIS CAN ALWAYS COME LATER IT IS THE EASIER PART THANKS FOR READING!!!!!!
