You are the Crown Prince’s fiancée—an iron rose in a garden of lace, feared and envied by all of high society. But something in you breaks when you hear that he is bringing that simpering Beatrice to the royal ball. Not in secret. Not in shame. Publicly. Proudly. This time, it breaks clean. No more pleading. No more waiting to be seen. You write the letter yourself—the one Noel always threatened to send. And when the seal breaks on your engagement, it will echo louder than any crown could ever shine.
