Publisher Description
A King. A Queen. An unforgettable love.
Talon, King of the Picts and a warrior feared across the land, has no time for love. With war on the horizon, unrest stirring among his people, and enemies gathering at his borders, he needs only one thing—a queen to bear him an heir and secure his legacy. Love is unnecessary. In fact, it would only complicate things.
Hemera never meant to challenge the King's patience—or his heart. Grateful for the shelter he provided after she and her sister fled the Northmen, she does her best to stay out of his way. But her sharp tongue, fiery spirit, and quiet strength seem to do nothing but test his legendary temper. And then, one kiss shatters everything between them.
As traitors lurk within the stronghold and enemies close in from without, Talon and Hemera are forced to stand together. Secrets long buried come to light, loyalties are tested, and the bond between them deepens in ways neither expected.
But when duty collides with desire, and power hangs in the balance, will love be strong enough to hold a kingdom—and two guarded hearts—together?

Splendid story
Loved the characters, and the story.
The editing leaves a lot to be desired, and detracts
from the enjoyment of reading. Words misused, grammar and punctuation poor. This author deserves better.
Epic love story!!!!
A Mighty King ....
Talon the fiercest King of all Picts needs to find the one woman who will be his Queen and give him what his previous wives weren't able...an HEIR! Love isn't necessary for the union! His enemies are getting bolder, and unrest in his villages. He definitely doesn't need Hemera, the one woman that has him losing control and causing unrest in his kingdom. She's vexed him so much that he did the unthinkable -HE KISSED HER!!!!
A Woman destined to be Queen...
Hemera really doesn't want to create any problems for the King not after taking her and her sister in after escaping the Northmen. She really can't help defying his orders, after all she's certain someone is betraying the King and she's just the person to find out who it is. What she never expected was for him to kiss her! And everything changes.
Tuahna a love that binds them forever!
A love that can't be denied can bring a kingdom to its knees or greatness and power.
This was one sensational story! The reader will definitely get a surprise in this epic love story. One is transported to a time when Picts ruled! Donna Fletcher will draw you in this stunning tale of treachery and betrayal and a love that defied the odds. I highly recommend all of Donna Fletcher's books they never disappoint !
