Playing with fire is the best way to get burned alive. I nearly lost everything in the battle to win Cole. My family is in shambles. My reputation is tattered. And there is more to the story than I could ever have imagined. As my life goes on, I quickly learn that there are forces moving against me. I try to pick up the pieces, but I don’t even know what I’m up against. One thing becomes crystal clear to me. No one ever said that being queen would be easy.
