Heirs & Spares

It’s 1569. Elizabeth I sits on the English throne, the Reformation inflames the Continent, & whispers of war abound. But in Troixden, just north of France, times are hard, taxes are high, & the people in Lady Annelore's duchy need help just to survive. Then Annelore receives a call she can’t ignore. When Troixden’s sadistic king died childless, his younger brother William returns from exile to find his beloved country on the brink of civil war. He’s in desperate need of the stability that comes with a bride and heirs. But Annelore, his chosen queen, won’t come quietly. Now the future of Troixden lies in the hands of two people who never wanted the power they’ve received and never dreamed that from duty and honor they might find love and a path to peace. Heirs & Spares is one part history, two parts palace plotting, and a whole lot of juicy romantic intrigue. Break out the spiced wine and sink in to this rousing read.
