Hating Her King
Hating Her King is the sequel to Loving Her Duke and is also the second book of the British Blood Trilogy. 'Gwen pushed him back, trying to create enough space between them. "I do not love you." Alexander smirked. "You do. You just don't know that you do." Gwen moved back. "Do you know the ways of my heart." "Yes, I do. And it tells the truth. You are only too stubborn to acknowledge it." He moved closer, pressing her against the wall. "When you decide to tell yourself the truth, I will be waiting." He kissed her forehead. "But don't make me wait long. I am not as patient as people think." This time he kissed her lips and staked off, leaving Gwen in a complete daze.' Guinevere Fitzgerald is being forced by the king to stay at the castle while her parents are sent home. She hates the king for it, but Alexander doesn't care as long as she is by his side. He teases her and drives her crazy with his wisecracks and his dubious ways, making her push herself to make the decision to escape, but he would not have that. On and on, their back and forth quarrel continues and even though Alexander seduces her at every chance he gets, Gwen is determined to not fall for him, little does she know she was already falling. Alexander has no idea how much he loves Gwen until he is pushed to quickly marry her and to execute his uncle to protect her. Even though Gwen had promised to never be a mistress, she at a point questioned herself and the validity of her promise.
Loving Her Duke
"I will not be your mistress." She spoke, whispering, with her mouth a sigh away from his. He swallowed hard and nodded, agreeing with her even as he closed the distance between them, kissing her to madness, leaving nothing to sanity. Bethany Fitzgerald hated the very idea of marriage and stood against it with everything she was. Charles de Norcrosse had to marry the insufferable Lady Cossington, for it was the will of his late father and he must abide by it. But when fate moved in favour of the Duke of Carlisle and the daughter of an impoverished Land Baron, very little can be done to fight against it.
