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!

She interjected him immediately without hesitation, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm here to get you out, father."
"Sierra," before he could protest, Leon had a coughing fit.
He collapsed to the ground, gasping for air, much to the shock of Nettle and Sierra. Together, the two women helped him return to his room and got him to bed. Nettle went away to get some medicine for Leon while Sierra tended to him by his bedside.
She rubbed his back while helping him to take a sip of water. Leon was breathing laboriously, which only pained her more.
"This is all my fault," she whispered in defeat as she slumped her shoulders.
"Nonsense," Leon said between coughs, "I'm the one who's ill, not you."
She looked up at him with a steeled gaze, "This is all Cedric's doing, isn't it?"
Leon nodded.
