HATING HER KING

'Gwen pushed him back, trying to create enough space between them. "I do not love you." Alexander smirked. "You do. You just don't know that you do." Gwen moved back. "Do you know the ways of my heart." "Yes, I do. And it tells the truth. You are only too stubborn to acknowledge it." He moved closer, pressing her against the wall. "When you decide to tell yourself the truth, I will be waiting." He kissed her forehead. "But don't make me wait long. I am not as patient as people think." This time he kissed her lips and staked off, leaving Gwen in a complete daze.' Marriage and a family is all life is to Gwen and she would see to it that she is not humiliated before then. A wife, and not a mistress is what she plans to be, but what can be done when the king of her country makes a proposal to put her by his side? Alexander is used to getting what he wants and getting his way, after all, he is King. But when he sets his eyes on the young and beautiful Guinevere who is just as stubborn as he is, will making her stay at the castle earn him her love, or will it be the beginning of his undoing? (Hating Her King is the sequel to Loving Her Duke and is also the second book of the British Blood Trilogy.)

Confusion

***

Gwen could do nothing but stare, completely taken aback by Alexander's words. She had never known force. Everything she had and loved had come to her with ease, and for everything she had worked for but could not obtain, she had learned to let go. There had never been a need to force anything, so she couldn't comprehend Alexander's reasoning. A love that was forced? One that must be accepted? That could consume, could it not? What if the other party was not ready to accept it? What if the other party couldn't accept it? What then becomes of such a forceful love?

The thought frightened her, and his eyes on her unsettled her. He believed every word he had said and from the manner he had forced her to stay at the castle, she was certain he was not prepared to change his notion.
