Clandestine Royal by Gigi Thorne

Luke: Suffering due to sins of the father is typically how it goes, but as the son of a predatory and entitled mother, I’d fallen victim to the consequences of her indiscretions. Her deathbed confession revealed my darkest secret. At my lowest point, I shared it with the two people I trusted the most. It proved to be my biggest mistake.
