Cyprien Life on the farm was harsh, with long days and and even longer nights serving my stepfamily by working on the land–but it was better than my only alternative.
I never thought I needed rescuing, I just needed my step family to meet with an unfortunate end–or just pack up and leave me with the house and the land, I wasn’t picky.
But Alaric rescued me any damned way, and in ways I could have never imagined. Was this my happy ending?
Alaric I wasn’t looking for love–or even a second night spent together, but Father was insistent on “producing an heir for the crown.” His words, not mine.
Then I met Cyprien, and though I didn’t really know him, I would have burned the world down to have him (to keep him), to make him the happiest man in all of Evenloch.
Would my kingdom survive such a pairing? I didn’t know but most importantly, I didn’t care. He was my fate and I wasn’t letting go–even if it killed me.
