The Marriage Claim - Reigning Hearts, #1

"As the warrior who saved your life, I ask for the right to invoke the akaternok ah yalonel-the Marriage Claim."I have no choice but to marry. I need an heir-for the good of the country and the continuation of my bloodline. If I could, I'd do it alone. But as Queen, I need a consort-and the only option is for me to take a husband. Jonathan is completely unsuitable. Charming, powerful, attractive-and vying to be our country's next Prime Minister.
He's a terrible choice. But when he saves my life and requests akaternok ah yalonel-the Marriage Claim-I'm left with the hardest decision of my life. Does he want my heart... or my crown?
