The Grosvenor’s Curse

HRH Prince Arthur Of Wales, third in line to the British monarchy. A royal pain in the backside, some say. A boy too gorgeous to even be real, the papers have written. A total mess and shame to the family, most will say. After returning to his prestigious private school in Westminster—Darcy-Mount Academy—Arthur is faced with reaping the consequences from his summer of racking up hundred thousand pound bills at nightclubs and partying till the sun comes up with his banished cousin. Although, this year is different. The night before summer changed everything for him—for them. They’re in too deep. No matter how far he goes, Arthur knows that she will never leave his side. He can try to push her out but he doesn’t want to, really. She’s all he knows. All he has ever known since he was five. And now grappling with the tornado that is addiction, Arthur starts to wonder if they’ll ever make it out alive of their last two years at secondary school. Lady Phoebe Cadogan, an old money heir to her family’s name. She’s too perfect for him. She’s admired. She’s on the front pages of magazines, posing with her fashion designer mother and high model sister but not anymore. Everyone reads the papers. They’ve all seen what he got up to over the summer. There’s no hiding it. She’s been ripped apart, stripped naked and now has to navigate her way through London’s high society while juggling her friendships, the love she has for herself—or lack thereof—her friendships, her family and most importantly, her relationship. She loves Arthur. Convinced no one could love anyone or anything in a fraction of the way she loves him. Their families have been glued together since their mothers crossed paths at university. There’s no dividing them now. She doesn’t care what her friends think or what her dad thinks or what her sister thinks. All Phoebe knows is that she loves herself just that bit more when she’s Arthur—addiction or not—the love she has for him was carved into the walls of caves by the Greek Gods before us. The pair did always love Romeo & Juliette, though. “But also, between the cracks of all those things that don’t make sense, there are a few things that do. Like religions. Like prayers. Like rules. Like leaders-someone tells you what to do and how to do it and you follow it. Arthur is my religion. He is what I go to when I need things to make sense. Like how Christians believe in three things. The mind, body and soul and all that? It makes sense to them. When they need that reassurance, that guiding light, that is where they go. To me, Arthur is my three things.” —- ISBN: 9798338675465 | ISBN10: B0DPRDCPWQ | ISBN-13: 979-8338675465
