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.)

***

Her steps soft against the cobblestones, Gwen slipped silently from the castle, walking away into the tall tree lands where the dense forest stretched endlessly across the fields.

She was alone. She needed to be alone, away from the relentless presence of her maid and manservant, who she suspected reported to Alexander of her daily activities. She needed to be away from the overwhelming feeling her argument with Alexander had brought. Neither the castle and its imposing walls, nor her bedchamber and its quietness could offer the peace she needed.

She had gone as far as to borrow a poem book from the library, but the rhyming sentences did nothing to ease her troubled thoughts. It was all in vain.
