A fearless Irish heiress.
A powerful English nobleman.
A forbidden love that could alter the course of kingdoms.

Alys of Lochlainn has always intended to choose her own future. That choice is taken from her when she is bound to a political betrothal she does not want, drawn into a world of ambition, quiet danger, and watchful eyes.

The Earl of Hampton is a man she has every reason to resist. He is commanding, controlled, and accustomed to obedience. Yet a single moment of defiance draws her closer to him than either of them intended.

What begins as resistance becomes something far more perilous.

Drawn into his confidence, and into his arms, Alys risks more than scandal. In a court where loyalties shift and favour is fragile, a misstep can cost everything.

As tensions rise and enemies gather, she must decide where she stands. Not only between rival claims and shifting alliances, but between duty and the man she should never have trusted.

Because in a world built on power and allegiance, love is never without consequence.

Begin the Lochlainn series with White Rose.

Inspired by the shifting loyalties of the Wars of the Roses.
