He was born into American royalty. She fought her way out of a troubled past. Is their love story truly meant to be?

The Kingsley family is admired for its military heroism, political service, wealth, and elegance. After losing his father in a tragic accident, Joseph S. Kingsley III inherits the weight of that extraordinary legacy. Charismatic, free-spirited, and sometimes reckless, Joe struggles to become the man his family—and the entire country—expects him to be.

Cate Cooper grew up with very different expectations. Raised by a struggling mother and an abusive stepfather, she learned early that she had to save herself. When a modeling scout discovers her at sixteen, Cate’s beauty becomes her escape into a glamorous new life—but she never stops feeling like an outsider.

When Joe and Cate meet, their connection is immediate. Yet the pressures of fame, family expectations, class differences, and Cate’s carefully guarded past threaten a love that may be doomed before it truly begins.

Loosely inspired by the iconic relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, Meant to Be is a sweeping, emotional story about destiny, identity, and an unforgettable against-all-odds romance.
