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.

Duty & Desire - Eloise and Theo Reimagined
Eloise has always been different-too opinionated, too restless, too unwilling to accept the life society has laid out for her. She has watched her siblings marry for love and duty, yet she has never been able to picture herself in the same fate. Until now. It starts with a letter. And then another. And another. A reckless, undeniable exchange between her and Theo, a man she should never have met, never have sought out, never have fallen for. A man whose hands are stained with ink, whose wit is sharper than any blade, and whose presence lights something inside her she cannot name. But when Eloise is sent to Sir Phillip's estate-a man far more suitable, far more accepted by society-she is forced to question everything. Sir Phillip is kind, gentle, and wholly devoted to the idea of winning her heart. The only problem? It is not his to win. As Eloise battles between what is right and what is real, she must make a choice: a life of comfort with a man who could offer her everything-or the fire of a love that could ruin them both. Because Theo was never meant to be an option. And yet, he is the only choice she wants to make. 🔥 A story of stolen letters, forbidden love, and the kind of desire that refuses to be denied.Complete

And when fate intervenes, it is not the sister meant to be chosen who must secure a husband before the final dance.
