Synopsis: Convict Queen

She's confessed to killing the assassin who killed her noble father. She's accepted a pardon from the crown prince, at a price - agreeing to marry him and become queen. She's faced the judgment and scorn of the palace nobility who see her as nothing more than a vulgar killer. And she's finally admitted that she's fallen in love - with her fiance's brother, with whom she's now involved in a passionate affair.

But that's only the beginning of Adrielle's story. Because someone is about to start killing off people in the palace... and the prime suspect is Adri herself. Can she solve the murders, save the kingdom, and earn the right to a life with the man she loves?
