How to Seduce a Queen — Stella Marie Alden

A de Bruce, even b@stard born, may not refuse his lord. Thus, a dutiful son is forced to woo a queen, way above his station. However, the more time he spends in her presence, the more he falls for her determined nature and courageous heart. Then, as she shares her horrific past, he can't possibly do her harm, even if it means his own death.

Neither Scot nor English, nor even queen, Lady Fay is stuck on an island off the coast of the great mainland. Men come to claim her along with the land of her ancestors but she'll never marry willingly. She remembers all too well how cruel a man's touch can be and yet... this man, this alleged monk, changes everything with just one kiss.

Lies pile up upon lies. The Isle of Man is up for grabs and the first to claim it will have a coastal advantage. What chance does this couple have under the rule of their ruthless kings?

There's a HEA guaranteed in this twelfth century story, along with a good dose of adult content.
