Meant to Be by Emily Giffin | Against-the-Odds Celebrity Romance | Very Good Hardcover
$7.99
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.

What is a Rescued Book?
A Rescued Book is a previously loved book that still has plenty of story left to give. It may show signs of its past life—like cover wear, bent corners, creases, markings, or other imperfections—but it’s still ready to be read and loved again.
What kind of wear or damage should I expect?
Every rescued book is different! You may find scuffs, creases, worn edges, stickers, writing, or other signs of previous ownership. Some may have only minor cosmetic flaws, while others are a little more well-loved. The imperfections are part of their story.
Why choose a Rescued Book instead of buying new?
Because great stories deserve another chapter! Rescued Books are a budget-friendly way to discover your next read while giving a perfectly readable book a new home. Plus, there’s something special about knowing your book has already been part of someone else’s reading journey—and now it gets to be part of yours.
