The King’s Lover Fell for His Queen

Isolde, Queen of Valedorne, has been married to King Alaric for three years—untouched, valued only as a womb. When the Council demands an heir, Alaric sends his own lover, Rowan, into her bed. A cold order becomes forbidden passion, and Isolde conceives a child. When the king moves to silence her, she exposes his crimes and takes the crown.
