The Defiant Queen - by L R Jackson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

When love and loyalty collide, truth alone can reunite two long-lost loves in this royal second-chance romance.

Royal advisor Baas never stopped loving the woman he was forced to send away. When Shaya unexpectedly returns, he sees his chance at happiness--but winning back her trust proves more challenging than any task he's faced.

Though Shaya's heart still yearns for her first love, a devastating secret from her past threatens their reunion. As an enemy plots to expose her, Shaya must decide if protecting herself is worth losing Baas again. With palace schemes and old wounds standing between them, can they build a future together? Or will their second chance at love crumble like their first?
