Cursed to Love His Majesty

At the king's victory masque, village seamstress Lara Venn shares a single, perilous hour with a masked stranger. By the midnight he is gone-but his signet ring remains, hidden hidden against her heart. Years later, Lara is a mother-and the child is cursed by the prince's serpent-sweet fiancee. And here is the main problem: Only the child's father-love spoken in daylight, name given without shame-can break it.

With nothing but nerve and a needle, she enters the palace as a seamstress and follows the ring's crest to the truth. Now, before a sorceress bride can seal the throne with a wedding with the prince, Lara must stitch herself into court intrigue, wake her lover's buried memory, and name the hidden heir in open daylight-no matter who tries to silence her.
