Book Description
There is a time in everyone's life, where we wear masks to hide ourselves in who we are not and will never be, but how badly does that mask influence a person, who has to live like that forever ? James Whitlock, an elite student at Crestwood High and the heir of Wales' throne despises the fact that his life has already been planned out, by everyone, but himself, when the only thing he truly desires, is living in peace, away from the throne and finding love that does not revolve around his life-status. The complete opposite of James is Charlotte Jordan, another student at Crestwood High, who'd be willing to do anything in order to get into her dream college and keep her academic status as valedictorian. The only thing in her way is the newby royal, who simply gets everything handed to him... or at least that's what she believes. What happens, once she learns that there is more to him, than she thought there was and which difficulties lie behind being involved with a royal family ?

“Plenty of twists, flashbacks, and a dash of romance keep the suspense high. For anyone looking for a dose of palace intrigue or upper-crust scandal, Riley’s latest novel delivers on both counts.” —Booklist “Chock full of shocking...this gripping novel is sure to keep Riley’s fans and new readers alike turning pages.” —Publishers Weekly “Fans of mystery, royal family intrigue, and even romance will enjoy this novel.” —Columbia Missourian In this suspenseful and heart-pounding novel from New York Times bestselling author Lucinda Riley, an ambitious young journalist unravels a dangerous mystery that threatens to devastate the British monarchy. Note to readers: In the UK, this book is published under the title The Love Letter. Keeping secrets is a dangerous game. When Sir James Harrison, one the greatest actors of his generation, passes away at the age of ninety-five, he leaves behind not just a heartbroken family but also a secret so shocking, it could rock the English establishment to its core. Joanna Haslam, an up-and-coming reporter, is assigned to cover the legendary actor’s funeral, attended by glitzy celebrities of every background. But Joanna stumbles on something dark beneath the glamour: the mention of a letter James Harrison has left behind—the contents of which many have been desperate to keep concealed for over seventy years. As she peels back the veil of lies that has shrouded the secret, she realizes that she’s close to uncovering something deadly serious—and the royal family may be implicated. Before long, someone is on her tracks, attempting to prevent her from discovering the truth. And they’ll stop at nothing to reach the letter before she does. Full of salacious scandal, shocking twists, and captivating romance, and written in Lucinda Riley’s signature “vividly drawn and lushly atmospheric” (RT Book Reviews) prose, The Royal Secret is “a full-throttle escapist adventure” (Lancashire Evening Post).
