-------------------
Roxanne Smith was just trying to get through her last week at the university, get a good job, and move her mom into a safe neighborhood. Maybe convince her brother to come back from Europe while their mom still had life left.
She sat alone in her sleazy studio apartment one night, listening to a documentary on ancient Persian empires as a storm raged outside. An unexpected visit from a strange figure sends her hurtling back in time, and she wakes to find herself in what she thinks--or hopes--is a dream.
She is part of a caravan headed to the newly-crowned Artaxerxes III, King of Persia, a concubine gift from his brother. She doesn't expect the king to take an immediate liking to her, trying everything he can to get her attention.
She becomes his little songbird. A prize to be won. And the king does not like to lose.
She'd always read that it was best not to disturb the timeline when one time-traveled, and so she spurned his advances, turning him away at every chance. But what happens when she begins to fall for the very man she swore she'd never give her heart to?
And when a spiritual ritual leaves them with more questions than answers, will she finally admit this is more than a dream?

⚠ Warning sexual content!!! ⚠ *Book 1 of the "Unexpected Lovestory" Series* She loved her husband more than her last breath. She was blinded, deafened and suffocated in his love.

He wanted her and everyone else he could get. But that all changed when Tobias Wrexler walked in... ©️ Copyright 2020 Demii Jada R. ©️ All Rights Reserved.

And shortly after Rowan was off him. He looked at the prince confused, "What the hell?" But Rowan just smiled and said, "I'm still mad at you but hey, that," he pointed to Garrick's bulge, "should be a good distraction for the rest of the night." He then sauntered his way off to the tent. For a moment, Garrick didn't respond. Then he nodded, his expression softening just a fraction. "You're cruel," he said. --- In the company of Rowan and a still freshly heartbroken Hyacinth, Garrick sets out to his home on the island of Goldovia. But things aren't as he left them.
