The Queen Beyond His Empire

After losing her parents, Elena devoted ten years to Damian, the feared head of the underworld. She shielded him from danger, created the spy operation that secured his reign, and let him receive every ounce of credit. But when Damian hands the honor meant for Elena to Sophia for political support, he destroys the last of her loyalty. Elena ends their engagement and disappears into Black Harbor. Certain she will come crawling back, Damian does nothing until he finds proof that she never planned to return. While he tears his empire apart trying to find her, Elena rises on her own, founding the formidable Frost Falcon network. There she meets Kane, a man who sees her worth without demanding her silence. Damian gives up his throne and risks his life to prove his remorse, but Elena has already chosen a future where she is no longer his shadow.
