She married the king. She wanted the man.
Guinevere’s marriage to Arthur was a political partnership, never a romance. Merlin knows that the king’s court, newly restored at a medieval theme park, will only be complete if Arthur has his lady. Little did anyone suspect that once Guinevere gets a taste of twenty-first-century freedoms that this ancient queen would lose interest in belonging to any man—even a royal one.
It takes a dragon, and some passionate nights spent in each other’s arms, to lure her back to her husband’s side. Arthur is willing to accept Gwen’s help in protecting the new Camelot from a fae menace, but the bigger challenge will be wooing back Guinevere for a second chance at love...
“That was quite the kiss, my lord.”
Satisfaction sprawled within King Arthur. “There is no need for it to end.”
Guinevere’s posture shifted. It was a slight thing, but it seemed to put her worlds away. “I think there is.”
He blinked. His need for her was like a runaway stallion. Hauling it back took effort. “There is?”
“One kiss does not heal everything.” Guinevere took a step back from him, straightening the bodice of her dress. “You left me in the past to come here.”
He frowned, confused. “I explained that already, but perhaps I should apologize instead.”
Guinevere shut her eyes a moment, then met his gaze without retreat. “Nothing, not even an apology, makes up for being considered invisible for so long. The only times you noticed me was when I made you unhappy. I don’t want to be that woman anymore.”
“But you kissed me!” he protested, realizing how lame it sounded the moment he spoke.
“I did, and it was wonderful. It wasn’t enough.”
