This modern-day fairytale, now a Hallmark Original Movie, offers the chance of happily ever after for a prince and a girl who couldn’t have imagined the journey love has in store for them. Susanna Truitt never dreamed of a great romance or being treated like a princess—just to marry the man she has loved for twelve years. But life isn’t going according to plan. When her … high-school-sweetheart-turned-Marine-officer breaks up instead of proposing, Susanna scrambles to rebuild her life.
The last thing Prince Nathaniel expects to find on his American holiday to St. Simons Island is the queen of his heart. A prince has duties, and his family’s tense political situation has chosen his bride for him. When Prince Nathaniel comes to Susanna’s aid under the fabled Lover’s Oak, he is blindsided by love.
Their lives are worlds apart. He’s a royal prince. She’s an ordinary girl. But everything changes when Susanna receives an invitation to Nathaniel’s coronation.
It’s the ultimate choice: His kingdom or her heart? God’s will or their own?

I love the devotion these two characters show to their True selves and to God. A sweet Cinderella story swept into a beautiful world mixing the American south with European royalty.
Love the characters. Love happily ever after. It is so romantic when dreams of love come true.

Absolutely enjoyed it
Wonderful story about allowing God to give us our hearts desire, sometimes without knowing that is what we want.
Better than the made for tv movie
I love this author and she never disappoints. I have enjoyed all that I have read.
You quietly go along with the story. For me it was a peaceful read. I enjoyed all of the characters. Will read again. Read this delightful book again. Fell in love with all of the characters all over again. It was like coming home. A wonderful read.
A number of twists and turns. Characters very likable.
This was a delightful read.
I finished reading it on a Friday, and the next day was the wedding of Prince Harry and his American bride, which I found to be very uncanny since the British Prince in the book also fell in love with an American.
This book got me hooked on this author. Read the whole series and each book got better!
I read this right before Meagan Markle got married, so it set the mood for an American princess wedding!
I would read this book again.
I loved this book! After reading this book, I am now reading additional books by Rachel Hauck and will continue to read her books! Great characters, great love story!
Delightful characters…I was pulling for them the whole time, as they were just good ole country folk, and Christian to boot!
Billed as the Hallmark book from the movie of the same name but it is not.
Great story! I saw the Hallmark movie first and liked it well enough but then read the book and wow! Wish the movie people would actually write the scripts the way the book goes. Prince Nathaniel seems like the kind of guy I would like to meet and have as a friend. Susanna is a intelligent young lady who has been given a bum deal by her former …
Went into this book thinking it may be a little cliched, and wondering how someone could possibly do a prince-meets-cinderella in a fresh way. This managed it in a believable manner. There were a few times I thought it was going to edge toward unbelievable, but the author managed to surprise me each time. Really enjoyable book with realistic …
Enjoyed this and the other 3 in the set. Of course we know all will live happily ever after, but it is a fun ride getting there. Very real characters
