Want to read the blurb for my best-selling, award- Want to read the blurb for my best-selling, award-winning, royal romance? Read on... 

One football goddess. One future Queen. One love that could change the game.

Princess Victoria has perfected the royal playbook: calculated smile, convenient boyfriend, impeccable press. But behind the tiara ticks a heart that's tired of playing by the rules.

Enter Ashleigh Woods: England's football captain, media darling, and living proof that authenticity scores every time. When Victoria pins an MBE on Ash's lapel, the instant chemistry jolts both their worlds.

Stolen glances become secret meetings. Private texts become tabloid gold. And suddenly, Victoria's tearing up her royal rulebook for a woman who makes her feel like more than her title. Ash has faced down penalty shootouts in European Cup finals, but winning Victoria's heart? That's the match of her life.

When their romance hits the headlines, it's game on: bow to tradition, or fight for a love that could change history. Victoria's got a crown to inherit. Ash has a legacy to defend. Neither planned to start a revolution, but when destiny meets desire, sometimes you have to risk it all to win.

Get ready for Clare Lydon's ultimate game-changer: a royal romance that proves some matches are worth breaking every rule for.

Sometimes, when you finish a book, characters live Sometimes, when you finish a book, characters live on in your head. Ash and Victoria certainly did in mine. Their story also resonated with so many readers, that after I gave the pair cameo roles in Girlfriend Goals, I knew I had to write their happy ending properly. So, here it is!

Five Reasons You'll Love The Forever Match:

1. It's Wedding Season! Did you love Ash and Victoria? Did you long for more of them, and want to see them get married? This story's got the lot: tense build-up, pushy bridesmaids, cake wars, plus the ultimate wedding HEA.

2. Turn Up The Heat. One of my early readers told me I should have called this 'Royally Railed by the Princess'. I thought perhaps that was a step too far. All I will say is: chapter 7.

3. Two Left Feet: Ash might be a wizard on the football pitch, but on the dance floor? Reader, she cannot kick it. However, their first waltz is looming. Dance lessons ensue. Ash is bricking it. Will she get through it, or fall flat on her face?

4. Scintillating Speeches: The other thing Ash is putting off? Her speech. Victoria has written hers, and it's a banger. Ash (and her dad) are hyperventilating about theirs. The night before, she's still not put pen to paper. It's time for her best woman to call in the wine and reinforcements...

5. Made For Each Other: Victoria and Ash have come through a lot, but the country turns up for their big day, drowning out the naysayers. Ultimately, The Forever Match is a story of overcoming the odds, standing up for yourself and embracing love. Read it and weep! 

The Forever Match is available now from my web shop as an ebook.
