(Hating Her King is the sequel to Loving Her Duke. It is the second book of the British Blood Trilogy)

'Gwen pushed him back, trying to create enough space between them. "I do not love you."
Alexander smirked. "You do. You just don't know that you do."
Gwen moved back. "Do you know the ways of my heart."
"Yes, I do. And it tells the truth. You are only too stubborn to acknowledge it." He moved closer, pressing her against the wall. "When you decide to tell yourself the truth, I will be waiting." He kissed her forehead. "But don't make me wait long. I am not as patient as people think." This time he kissed her lips and staked off, leaving Gwen in a complete daze.'


Marriage and a family is all life is to Gwen and she would see to it that she is not humiliated before then. A wife, and not a mistress is what she plans to be, but what can be done when the king of her country makes a proposal to put her by his side?

Alexander is used to getting what he wants and getting his way, after all, he is King. But when he sets his eyes on the young and beautiful Guinevere who is just as stubborn as he is, will making her stay at the castle earn him her love, or will it be the beginning of his undoing?

Hating Her King

"Your Highness." Gwen saluted, bowing low. 


"I do not believe we have been properly introduced. Brand Williams." He said. 


"Gwen Fitzgerald, Your Highness." She replied, bowing again. 


"Highness," he whispered, his right eye blinking. "I very much prefer to be called Brand." 


Gwen blinked, confused. How could he ask her to address him in such a manner? "I could never call you that." 


"It is my given name. The king calls me by it." 


"He is your brother. I am not." The prince's right eyebrow hitched. Gwen quickly reprimanded herself. "Forgive me. I meant to say, I am not the king." She corrected. 


Was the prince looking to stir up trouble? Alexander had asked her to call him by his given name, and months later, she had been brought to the castle against her will. What would the prince demand if she obeyed him? She was not curious enough to find out. 


"I am not so highly placed to call you by your given name, Sir." She added.
