A restless golden boy and a girl with a troubled past navigate a love story that may be doomed before it begins, in this captivating novel from a bestselling author. The Kingsley family is American royalty, celebrated for their military heroics and political service. In 1968, after the tragic death of Joseph S. Kingsley, Jr., his charismatic son, Joe III, inherits the weight of this legacy. A free spirit, Joe struggles to meet the expectations of his nation and his demanding mother, Dottie. In contrast, Cate Cooper, who grew up fatherless and faced an abusive stepfather, never had anyone expect much from her. Discovered by a model scout at sixteen, she sees modeling as a way to escape her mother's cycle of disappointment, but she feels like a fraud in a world where she doesn't truly belong. When Joe and Cate's paths unexpectedly cross, their connection is immediate and intense. However, can their relationship withstand the pressures of fame and the so-called Kingsley Curse? This beautifully written novel captures a gilded moment in American history, exploring themes of belonging, identity, and whether certain love stories are destined to be.
