I've always been quiet (with the exception of when I was little and when I'm with family/close friends) and un-outgoing (if that's even a word) but that all changed in the summer before and during my junior year of high school. Before that, I basically did everything my best friend did except when we were with our families. You might be asking what changed? My answer is that I went to a swim camp for two weeks while my best friend was in New York for three weeks...oh and I met a boy there who just so happened to be my mom's fiance's not blood-related nephew (his best friend's son) who is living with my mom's fiance for the next two years. When I introduced him to my best friend she started falling for him. unfortunately for me having no experience in the romantic kind of love, I failed to realize that I also was falling for him too. Just a heads up my updates are VERY slow because of school and stuff so please cope with me because I have great, I think, things planned for this book.

A blacksmith's apprentice who would be a knight. The heir to the throne, at death's door. One woman who would save them both, if she could... Charlotte was number sixty-four in the second group of young, hopeful maidens intended to meet the Prince at a grand ball in his honor. That introduction was not to be. She returned home to her tiny village- and her visions of a future limited by it- without any warning of the drastic turn her life was about to take. Soon she would be fighting against the odds to help keep a gravely wounded stranger alive; and waging war with her own heart, as he stirred feelings in her she'd never known. When the stranger's royal identity is revealed, Charlotte is faced with an entirely different battle: one to keep her family, village, and the injured Prince in her care all safe from a madman set on taking the throne by any means necessary.
