Crowned in Exile

Ten years ago, Ariana Lucia Martinez was accused for murdering her beloved uncle.

Her twin sister, Emilia, made sure everyone believed she was guilty.

At thirteen years old, Ariana was sent away to Spain, leaving behind the parents, four brothers, and older sister she loved. For a decade, she learned to survive without them.

Now she's coming home.

Her family wants their daughter and sister back, but Ariana isn't the same little girl they remember. She's stronger, guarded, and unwilling to trust the people who once believed she was capable of murder.

At first, some of her brothers struggle to accept her. But when the truth begins to unravel, they discover Ariana was innocent-and realize they lost ten years with their sister because they believed a lie.

Now they have to earn her trust.

While Ariana tries to find her place in the family again, she finds herself drawn to Lorenzo Fabiano De Luca, a powerful and dangerous man who may become her greatest weakness-or her strongest ally.

But the past isn't finished with Ariana.

The truth behind the murder is still buried.

Emilia still has secrets.

And someone doesn't want Ariana to uncover them.

She returned home for answers.
She found a family desperate to love her again.
And a man who could make her forget she ever swore off love.

But before Ariana can claim her place, she must decide whether she can forgive the people who sent her away-and whether she's ready to become the queen she was always meant to be.
