Eloise Thompson has reached her seventeenth year when she receives a letter in the post. It is an invitation from the Queen to join the debutantes at her eldest sons season of being the crown prince. Eloise had never thought she would return to the palace again, after her mothers death. Eloise accepts the invitation and is thrown into palace life. As soon as she arrives, trouble follows her (due to her need to always cause mischief wherever she goes). Charles's charm and good nature attracts her to him instantly but soon she realises that the feelings she holds for the Prince may not just be what a friend should feel. Other questions soon appear, secrets to do with her mother, which gets Eloise wondering was her mothers freak accident, really all that much of an accident. Join Eloise as she navigates her way through romance, deception, betrayal, friendships, and a lot of fun and interesting moments in between.
