It's the stuff of fairy tales.

We all want to live happily ever after with our beloved.

But what if it doesn't happen?

What happens if you end up with a prince who breaks your heart instead of whisking you off to his castle to make you his princess, forever?

More than 20 years ago, I reluctantly ended my relationship with the man I adored. He was the love of my life. I wanted to marry him, have children with him, grow old with him. I loved him more than I loved any man, before or since.

But our relationship was not to be. Spoiler alert: he broke my heart. There was no happy ever after for me.

In this e-book of five short chapters, I retell our relationship as a modern day fairy tale, from when we first met, to the moment my heart shattered into a million pieces.

It's a sad fable that says a lot about love, without being an angsty heartbreak romance. There are lessons to be learned for those who still believe in fairy tales — and their own happy ever after ending.
