When a car pulls up beside her and a man steps out shielding her with his umbrella Ana knows better than to accept the ride from this handsome stranger but her options are bleak. Against her better judgement she agrees to a ride. Can Ana trust the stranger and what is his connection to her husband? Are any of these people who they say are? Could it really be a decades old coincidence or is destiny haunting Ana and what does royalty have to do with any of it? ***My cover reflects the volume currently being uploaded. The covers shows Scott and Ana. Volume 2: With a health crisis looming and the princes at odds, can this strange family find a way to persevere? How can Ana be the lost queen of the pirate nation of Althinia? Wait, pirates? That's ancient history, right? AUTHOR NOTE: The first forty chapters are written in various points of view but often from a male perspective. This is story is a primarily female voiced story. After chapter 44 the split is about 90/10 female to male. The story arc demanded that the male characters are well fleshed out because most of the rest of the story is about the lead female and her story arc. I hope that helps to answer some questions.
A King's Visit
It was getting late, around nine and Scott was bored with the TV. After two hours of random history channel shows about haunting's and ghost hunting, he was considering pouring himself into bed. At least the bourbon had been plentiful from their room's bar. He had drunk nearly half a fifth.
Scott scrubbed his hands over his face. He felt slightly numb and that felt amazing. Better than the useless jealousy that had been eating him alive earlier. He knew he had to get over it but that was easier said than done.
There was suddenly a loud insistent pounding on the hotel room door. Scott stumbled to his feet his face scrunched in confusion. No one knew they were here in Cortez. Scott made his way to the door slightly drunk and looked through the peephole. He cursed then yelled back to Nicholas that he better get up before opening the door to their visitor.
