Said No to a Crown

In her past life, Lyra Ashford married Cyrus Valmont, the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom. But he and his childhood sweetheart Serena Whitlock conspired to have her entire family executed. Lyra died full of regret, only to be reborn. On the day of her wedding, she publicly called it off — and escaped the tragedy that had once consumed her. Quentin Hartwell, the Third Prince of Southreach, loved and protected her, helping her through every crisis. Without the Ashford family's support, Cyrus’s kingdom crumbled. Lyra followed Quentin back to Southreach, and together they swept away their political enemies. In the end, they built a new empire together — and found a love that would last a lifetime.
