Faerie Knights - Hearts of Faerie Series, #2

A reluctant Queen. A lowly guard. A love that has always been. But will the war with Willow Wood end that love or make it stronger?Having lost her mother and husband in the battle to save Alasdair, Edeline is not yet ready to take the crown. But she has no choice. Faerie needs a queen and she is next in line. What she truly wants is to abdicate the throne and run away with Lysander. But Edom, King of Willow Wood, plots to take over her kingdom.
She cannot desert her people in such a troubling time. A mere soldier of the Queen's royal guard, Lysander is unworthy of royal blood, but he loves Edeline all the same. Despite the hollow ache in his heart, though he longs for more, he vows to guard, protect, and be there for her for as long as she needs him. Will their friendship on fire burn them? Or will rescuing Galandore from the clutches of Willow Wood's king lead them to their happily ever after? Faerie Knights is Book 2 in the Hearts of Faerie Series.  Please note: This is a medi-fantasy romance series with occasional scenes taking place in the modern world.
Some violence is to be expected when the fae are at war. I try to not be overly explicit and play more on emotion. Each book is a combination of fantasy and romance, so expect at least one graphic sex scene. Books 1, 2, and (soon to come) 4 are slow burn romances. Book 3 moves a bit faster. I blame it on the characters. :)
