Facts of Love (ePub)

The facts of love are many, but none are truer than the ones Catanna
came to learn the hard way. You cannot learn to love, for it is not
a skill. You cannot evade love, for it is as inherent a part of life as
is breathing. The word 'fall' in the 'term fall in love' does not quite
belong, for love elevates you, changes you, and turns you into the best,
most beautiful and rounded version of yourself that you can possibly
imagine. Catanna was to learn these facts the hard way.

Nothing was really truly a mystery to Alexander. He was a man of
great intellect, well-read, social, an avid reader and not to mention
extremely handsome. He was the Prince Charming and the perfect
eligible bachelor for every single female in the vicinity and far-flung
areas alike. As polite as he was to all, none truly ever caught his eye till
he happened to set them upon Catanna, who thoroughly lacked social
graces and knew nothing of politeness. Hell-bent on proving to the
haughty princes that love did not only exist in fairy tales, Alexander
and Catanna embark on an exhilarating journey that will leave them
both breathless and disoriented.

Between the two stands, Catanna's cousin Edward, her uncle's dying
wish, an impending marriage, and binding will. Edward, too, is
betrothed to another whom he loves, but bound by his duty to his
people. But as we mentioned earlier, the facts of love are many.
What more have the three learned?
Does love demand sacrifice? or Does love conquer all?
