I was Marisol Voss — wife of shipping and energy titan Julian Voss. What no one knew: I was also the last crown princess of Thalassor, a sunken kingdom older than his empire’s oldest ship. I locked my final power away the day I married him, because that power made me incapable of loving anyone. I chose him instead.Then his company drilled through the one trench they were warned to touch — andmy mother, the Sea Queen, died protecting what was left of our people.The same week, I found him in bed with his VP of Communications, Celeste Marlowe.Grief and betrayal don’t just break a human heart. In me, they broke a seal.Julian sued me for “invasion of privacy” after I exposed the affair, and demanded apublic apology — or jail. He stood there with his arm around Celeste like I was already gone.Celeste smiled at me. “How could I be a mistress when I'm the one in his heart, Mrs. Voss.”I looked at the ring on my finger — the one I’d worn instead of my crown for six years — and smiled back.“You’re right. I owe you both an apology.”They still think they’re looking at the woman who loved him too much to fight back. They have no idea what just woke up inside her.
