The King's Favorite

Fearing her 'gifts' will be used to defeat her sister Matilda, Elspeth Pendragon escapes the Black Mountain priory that has sheltered her and her four sisters since King Henry's death, only to find herself indebted to, of all men, a Scotsman, whose loyalties are in question . . .

Left to face the wrath of a new sovereign, Malcom Scott is forced to swear fealty to Stephen of Blois to keep the castle he won by slaying his own grandfather. But having done that, he's pitted himself against Scotland, and even his own father. But even as Malcom realizes there's no turning back, the late King's favorite illegitimate daughter may offer him more than he ever bargained for.

Contains mature themes.
