Throne of Secrets (Prince of Sin, #2)

by Kerri Maniscalco

“I—” Frustration built in my chest as I inched closer, as if proximity to the prince would spark a memory. “That’s not how that night went. You and I—you and I did go to the garden. You told me everything a young, hopeful romantic could ever want to hear. Made all sorts of declarations and promises. You charmed me so thoroughly we made love right there and everything was incredible. Up until you left me directly after to sleep with the viscountess. The same one who’d been calling me a social climber all evening and attempted to have me tossed from the ball for being common scum. I was mortified. You discarded me like I meant nothing.” I exhaled, my breath hitching slightly. “It was the first time I realized how much you used your charm to get whatever you desired. Then once you had your fill of whatever you’d been after, you moved on to the next thing you hungered for.”
