I turned off the light, set my book aside, and went to bed too, my back to him.The distance between us felt

Lillian’s POVGrayson was better at blocking the words of the naysayers than I was, and the words hurt. I knew I didn’t deserve a prince. I knew he had been kind to me, saving my life and Ronan’s life, and I knew, soon, he would drop me just as the vicious woman had said.But that didn’t mean she ha
