The Outsider

To save her crown, she must claim the husband she barely knows.

Fiercely devoted to her people and her land, Queen Adara will not let a power-mad usurper steal her throne. But the only way to hold what is hers is to seek out the man she was wed to in childhood—and demand he stand at her side.

Christian of Acre, a proud and haunted warrior, owes allegiance to nothing but the mysterious Brotherhood, and has no wish to rule over anyone but himself. Then a bold, beautiful stranger appears in his rooms, tempting him with an irresistible seduction and asking the impossible: return with her to their kingdoms, or at the very least give her an heir to her throne.

He cannot leave so regal and brave a lady to her enemies. Yet Christian dares not surrender to the desire she stirs—even as the passion between them lays claim to them both.

Perfect for readers who love:

– Medieval romance and secret warrior brotherhoods

– A warrior queen and a reluctant, tormented king

– Sweeping, sensual, marriage-bound historical romance

– Duty, desire, and a crown worth fighting for
