Love comes in many forms and always at a price.
At twenty-three, Princess Isabella must settle down for the sake
of her kingdom. Caught up in a secret affair with her lady-in-waiting, Hannah,
the princess knows it can only last for so long.
When Prince Alexander arrives to court her, he confides
that his father is on his death bed, and he will be crowned king soon.
Isabella hastily agrees to the proposal, desiring to be queen,
knowing little about her soon to be husband.
Murder, secrets, and lies combine with menage, spanking,
and erotic encounters in this steamy medieval romance.
EXCERPT
Teardrops fall from the sky as I sit in my room with the window
open, watching the dirt road into the castle. Prince Alexander, from a
neighboring kingdom, is scheduled to arrive at court today. It's no secret I've
made things difficult for the last prince that courted me. I can't remember his
name, only his beady eyes and putrid breath. I have no desire to tie my heart
down.
The thought terrifies me to no end.
There's a knock at my door and I shut my window, keeping the
mood from seeping inside. Silly superstitions.
"Princess Isabella," Hannah says, greeting me with a
curtsey. Her blonde hair is braided intricately across the top of her head
and down her back. I wonder who did her the honor. She's wearing my favorite
color on her too, a deep rich blue that accentuates and compliments her pale
blue eyes.
I pull her into my room, slamming the door shut behind her.
Hopefully no one saw her entrance. If they did, we can surely think up an
excuse for her presence in my room. Unlike a boy, there's no rules being broken
having Hannah alone in my chambers. Lucky me.
Without thought, my lips descend onto hers, shoving her
forcefully against the door.
Hannah is not shy, though she pretends to be around my parents.
I don't blame her, they are intimidating and also the king and queen of our
land.
"You have to tell your father King William," Hannah
whispers between kisses. Her fingers slip against the back of my neck,
moving my dark locks to one side. Hannah's rosy lips fall against my bare skin,
kissing a path up to my ear. "It's the only way we can be together."
"He'll never allow it," I say and sigh letting my eyes
shut. I worry that confessing my feelings for her might result in her
banishment from our kingdom. It's not only the fact Hannah is a woman and our
relationship is forbidden, there's also the issue that she's a lady-in-waiting.
She's not of royal blood and I'm to marry a prince and
strengthen our alliance. Nothing can ever develop between us more than lust and
romance.
