From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.
The one that got away. Every girl has one, right?
Mine was a charming, British aristocrat who turned my world upside down one summer.
From the moment I first spotted Leo in the distance through my binoculars, I’d been captivated. I certainly never expected to find a man showering outside of the property across the bay in his birthday suit.
Then I noticed his housemate staring back at me with binoculars of his own—watching me watching Leo.
That made for an interesting conversation starter when I inevitably ran into them.
Turned out, the handsome Brits were only renting that house for the summer in my seaside town.
Leo and I formed an instant connection, even though we were technically opposites by all appearances. I taught him how to dig for clams, and he taught me that not all wealthy and powerful guys are pretentious.
Despite knowing he was totally wrong for me, I couldn’t seem to stay away.
It was a wild and crazy few months. And before I knew it, we’d fallen in love.
We both had one wish: more time together.
But Leo had obligations back home. He lived a life I’d never fit into. And I was going to law school. So, we decided to end it and never look back.
A part of me always felt like I’d let my soulmate walk away.
I believed our story was over.
Until five years later when he sent me a letter that shook me to my core.
I’d thought my world was turned upside down that first summer?
Well, I knew nothing yet.

This one is very much a slow burn filled with all the angst type book that Ward has given us this time. It was raw and emotional. How can such a short time create such a strong connection? How can you run and hide from something that strong? My heart ached not just for Felicity but for Leo too. To be bound so tight by family obligation that he didn’t see any other alternative. There are a lot of ups and downs with some epic slow burn that will keep you on your toes. You will fall in love with Sig and die to have a story about him. But I digress. This story about Felicity and Leo is one of unrequited love that endures regardless of every up and down thrown at them. I found it had a great level of passion and intensity. The Aristocrat has great flow, amazing love and so much more.
