(Pearl Palace Series #1) [18+] Georgina Aldana never expected to wear a crown, let alone marry the prince she had spent fourteen years hating. Inside the palace, however, Juan Miguel de Loyola proves to be nothing like the cruel boy she remembers. Behind his seemingly cold and guarded exterior is a man carrying impossible burdens, and despite herself, Georgina begins to fall in love. But the palace is full of secrets. A woman who is believed to be Miguel's longtime lover refuses to disappear. Political alliances continuously shift, and the ghosts of an unsolved massacre threaten to ruin the fragile trust they've built.
