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.)

Acceptance

The sound of trickling water filled the silence that followed. It was their only companion for a few minutes.

"A man like him? What sort of man is he, sister?"

"A king. An arrogant man. A man who…"

"Somehow reminds you of your truth?" Beth finished insistently, coming to stand by her. "He reminds you of your emotions, Gwen, or am I mistaken?" Silence. "Tonight, when you stood with Lady Marjorie and I, and when you laughed with the other ladies, I dare say it is the happiest I have ever seen you."

She smiled. It was the happiest she had been at any ball.

Beth gently turned her so they were face to face. "You walked about the room with a smile that must have been sincere. Did it not please you?"
