I had read thish book in college. I am an ardent romance fiction fan, so I read anything that has a touching heart wrenching romance in it.
The name of this book is 'ONCE A PRINCESS', it's written by Johanna Lindsey.The speaciallity of this book is that the plot has a uncanny resemblance to our Tasha story.
