99% Royal

Author: Sally Thorne‎

Infatuation is a strong, short-lived fascination one feels for someone who is often an unattainable ideal. Darcy Barrett conducted a global survey of men. After touring the world, she can confidently state that no man lives up to the standard of Tom Valaska, whose only flaw is that Jamie—Darcy's twin brother—met him first and befriended him. Despite Darcy's efforts, her relationship with Tom was almost impossible, and Tom was 99% loyal to her brother. This is the drawback of dreaming of a Prince Charming at eight years old, and excelling in a photography career at twenty—since then, Darcy has had to settle for a good person, even if they don't live up to Tom's stature. When Darcy and Jamie inherit an old, dilapidated house from their grandmother, they find their grandmother's will. It states that they must restore it to its former glory and sell it. Darcy planned to leave and travel as soon as the workers began renovating the house, but before she could escape, she found a familiar face on her porch: Tom had arrived at her house with his power tools, expressing himself for the first time in almost a decade. At that moment, Darcy suddenly disregards the idea of traveling and decides to stay to monitor her twin and hope to prevent the house from being ruined with gray colors and chrome paint—and not for Tom's elegance or his breadth, which naturally arouse in her a desire to photograph him. Soon, sparks fly, and we don't mean electrical sparks. It becomes clear to Darcy that only one percent of Tom's love is not enough for her, and she decides that this time she will make him 99 percent hers.
