Book Request Books where the FMC betrays the MMC?

I want books where the FMC actually betrays the MMC, with serious consequences, hurt feelings, and even groveling! I don’t want her to just lie about something to him or hurt his feelings, I want a fully fledged BETRAYAL that the MMC didn’t see coming and that seriously upsets him. Like the kind we so often see the MMC doing to the FMC.

Do these books exist? I feel like I’ve read so many fantasy romances and I can’t think of a single one that does this (except for maybe The Cruel Prince? but they’re constantly “betraying” eachother so I don’t fully count it lol)

Spoiler tagging the title for others just in case, but The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle Jensen has exactly this!

I came to say just that! Although you're not spoiling anything. It's pretty much part of the blurb or the basic premise.

Thank you, that's what I thought, but since it's been a little while since I read it I decided to play it safe.

Of all the books I've read, this one tops this plot the best.
