The Princess Who Stopped Waiting

Marina gave Prince Dorian ten years of loyalty, love, and even her royal crown. Yet when his first love returns, Dorian discards her and gives another woman everything Marina once held. Then Marina discovers she is pregnant with his heir. Hope flickers briefly—until a carefully staged "accident" at the royal blessing ceremony forces Dorian to choose whom to save. He does not choose Marina. She survives, but her hope dies. She leaves the palace, the prince, and the kingdom, carrying his child and nothing else. She will not beg for scraps of love. She will raise his heir far from his shadow—and become her own queen.
