It’s dark, it’s gritty, and there’s a pretty good chance it’s the royal romance you never even realized that you wanted. Your new anti-hero obsession is almost here—do you think you can handle Saxon Priest?
“I’m not scared of you.”
I meet her gaze. “You should be.”
Bound by a secret oath spanning generations, I am loyal to no one but the queen.
Spy.
Defender of the Crown.
To all of England, I’m Saxon Priest. Traitor. Murderer. Owner of London’s most infamous anti-loyalist pub.
And then she appears.
Isla Quinn may claim that she’s only looking to buss tables, but I’m no fool. Bitterness bleeds from her hard-blue eyes, and her hatred for the queen is so palpable, I can practically taste it off every sharp-tongued word slipping from her full mouth.
“Hire me,” she begs.
We’re on opposite sides of this war. Enemies from the start.
Isla thought she found an ally, but she’s found me instead.
Savage.
Ruthless.
A man with no heart, no matter how the dead space inside my chest lurches whenever she’s near.
And so I lean over, dragging her deep into this twisted game of crowns and thrones, and offer a single vow: “I could use you.”
Right or wrong Saxon has always known that his purpose in life is to protect the crown with no thought about what the personal cost may be. He comes across as withdrawn and arrogant but there is so much more to the him than first appears and he is a man in conflict.
Isla is his opposite as not only does she oppose the crown, but she is fiery, feisty and backs down from nothing and no one. She will do anything for those she loves, and she has learnt that the only person she can count on is herself.
From the moment they meet the sparks fly. They know that anything between them is a disaster in the making but what happens when their heads tell them to keep their distance, but their hearts tell them to stay?
This story takes you on quite the adventure filled with twists, intrigue and a love too strong to be denied.
