The King's Mistress
Forced to become the concubine of King Alistair, Princess Sierra left her home kingdom behind. But she's no princess! Sierra is the adopted daughter of a general, a knightess by training. She was threatened and forcefully given a false title in order to take the place of the real princess. Despite all the odds, the King still falls hopelessly in love with her. What will happen when her identity is revealed? Will their love prevail? Awesome beautiful cover is a commissioned piece from Sapphrix on Instagram! Huge thanks to her for doing the cover and bringing my lovely characters to life! I really appreciate it!
A Gift From The Queen
Sierra arrived at the Queen's quarters sometime later. She slipped past the guards and met Miss Marionne at their pre-agreed meeting point. Upon seeing Sierra, Marionne threw a hooded cloak over her shoulders.
"A gift from the Queen," she whispered to her, "Hopefully it helps to keep your identity safe. Even if it's just for a few extra moments."
Through a hidden passageway, Miss Marionne led Sierra into a Drawing room. The fireplace was lit in the background, while Queen Roxine was at a table with a cup of hot tea and some light supper snacks.
"Ah, you've arrived. Take a seat, Sierra," the Queen called her over, "Spare the formalities."
Sierra did as she was told, taking a seat on the cushioned chair opposite the Queen. Miss Marionne quickly poured her a cup of hot tea from the same pot Roxine was drinking from.
"It's a chilly night out there, isn't it?" the Queen commented as she tugged on the shawl she had draped over her shoulders.
