The King's Gambit — Odessa Lynne

Nearly a year has passed since Leon married and became King. The blood heir has finally arrived and the Birth Feast is only days away. Royal visitors have come from neighboring kingdoms far and wide to coo over baby Yames -- and stir up as much discord as possible.

Leon's lover Geran, the King's Guard, has his hands full overseeing palace security, but that hasn't stopped Geran from making it clear there's something he wants from Leon, and soon -- something Leon hasn't been able to give him.

When it turns out one of the royal visitors has a past with Geran, Leon has more to worry about than a little palace intrigue. But soon it becomes clear that a little palace intrigue might be a whole lot of trouble for Leon and Geran both.

The King's Gambit is a lighthearted fantasy romance novel with magic, mystery, adventure, and palace intrigue.

Book two of the Hend and Yurt series. For mature readers.
