Discarded by a crown prince, a woman marries his uncle to become queen.
Hannah Steele mistook proximity for destiny, believing her history with Crown Prince Ronald Shaw secured their future. That illusion fractures the instant he meets her sister, Noelle, and transfers his devotion without hesitation. Refusing to linger in rejection, Hannah accepts a proposal from Zachary Shaw, the prince's uncle, converting a discarded courtship into a direct path to the throne. The narrative hinges on the precise moment Ronald comprehends the magnitude of his error, a realization that arrives only after the political landscape has irreversibly shifted against him.
