The Red King is scheduled for release on July 1st. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek with thirteen lines from the book.

2. “Do I have a soothing effect on you?”
3. “A princess who never had a horse?”
4. He narrowed his eyes and said with a playful grin, “On the contrary I want you soaked in bed, just not your hair.”
5. Delia gazed at the man and the beast, thinking what a perfect pair they were, both strong, handsome and courageous.
6. He slid his chair back from the table, unfastening the codpiece on the front of his trousers.
7. “On the night we married, you said I’d ripped you from a home you loved.”
8. Hypatios had a few ideas about how to rattle them even more before the battle started.
9. For what he had done to her husband and for the sake of the free kingdoms of the north, she wished Hypatios dead as well.
10. “Strangely, he seemed more concerned for the snake than for himself.”
11. No woman had ever kissed him there and he had been so certain that none ever would.
12. “Your Majesty, the queen has taken ill. Alexa said you should come to her chamber straight away.”
13. How else would she know that he was serious about what it meant for her to be his queen?
