“I thought you wanted to sleep, my Queen,” Lorcan whispered.
“I changed my mind,” Niamh kissed Lorcan again, deeply, hungrily. “Besides, you owe me a

“I stand reminded,” Lorcan bowed his head. Looking up, he grasped Niamh around the waist and turned to lay her beneath him, kissing her passionately.
***
Niamh had dutifully fulfilled her obligation to marry King Lorcan of the Elven Realms, only to
watch her new husband ride off to battle the very next day.
But he was lost in battle, and she was left to face her new role as Queen among haters, admirers, and potential suitors… and a traitor.
Despite the challenges she formed new alliances, treaties, and friends, and, once the King was found, they built an unshakable love while facing turmoil.
Once free to leave, what choice will she make? Will the love they formed be strong
enough to endure more than time?
