Save the Queen

The night she burns her old life is quiet—just a locked New England bookshop, a ring of keys left on the counter, and a plane ticket that still smells like fresh ink.

By morning, the shy girl who shelved paperbacks and hid behind other people’s stories is gone. In her place stands the daughter of a crowned prince, dragged back into a kingdom where kisses taste like lies and every corridor has ears.

The game for the throne has always been dangerous, but now the rules won’t hold. Allies smile too quickly. Footsteps echo outside closed doors. A teacup is left a fraction of an inch out of place on a silver tray, and that’s how she knows someone has been in her rooms, searching.

To stand at the King’s side, she has to do more than survive. She has to become the weapon everyone once assumed she was too soft to be. That means bleeding for a crown that never protected her, and loving a man who may have to choose the kingdom over her heart.

War, in this palace, isn’t just armies and borders. It’s the quiet signatures on death warrants. It’s the hand she reaches for in the dark, not knowing if it will be there tomorrow.

If she wins, she claims her place as queen. If she loses, the plot coiled around the royal family doesn’t just take the crown.

It takes her.

SAVE THE QUEEN is a dark royal romance of survival, treachery, and the brutal price of choosing both love and power, from USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Rebecca, Book 3 in the Royals Secrets & Lies series.
