Award-winning author Martina Boone creates an evocative new romance about illusions, last chances, and embracing hope set against the magical backdrop of North Wales and the glitter of an epic Hollywood historical film.

Kath Cameron escaped a horrible mistake by running away to Hollywood, hoping to become someone else. Then her acting career plunged off a cliff after a divorce from her mega-star ex-husband. She has one last shot at a reboot when casting for the lead in the Welsh version of Braveheart reopens weeks into production. On location in Wales, she finds herself working around the clock with the film's director. But Dai Rhys has a knack for seeing past a lifetime of armor plating Kath has built for herself, and falling for him forces her to face her greatest fears.

Dai Rhys left the British army and took up acting as part of his PTSD treatment. After a decade as a Hollywood star, he's paid his dues. Directing The Last Prince is his dream project. He's had to replace one star already, so he can't risk more complications by getting involved with Kath. Now if only his heart would listen to that advice. He's always had a protective streak two miles wide, and Kath's slow smile and vulnerability make him ache to heal her broken spirit.

Both Kath and Dai have been married before. They know how fragile relationships can be. As soon as the film is over, they'll be on different continents again, so this may be their only opportunity to find out whether it's attraction or love that lies between them. They're both fighting to rebuild their lives, and with the film and their reputations at risk, can they dare to take a chance on each other?
