"I cannot marry you."
Her words struck me like a physical blow as she turned and walked away. I could not force her to wed me, nor would I. Yet, the stability of my kingdom hinged upon a powerful alliance, a marriage to a queen. If she refused, what then? I knew then that I must win her heart.
In the gilded yet treacherous world of the 1850s, where selfish ambition and cruel hearts often rule, Arabella has always clung fiercely to a promise: to never become the kind of person who thrives on the suffering of others. Raised in humble circumstances after the mysterious early deaths of her parents, she and her younger sister, Lily, have scraped by in the Kingdom of Cobblestone, relying on the kindness of strangers and the unwavering bond between them. Royalty is a distant, almost mythical concept, their lives a stark contrast to Arabella's daily struggle for survival.
"Her Majesty" is a sweeping historical romance set in the captivating world of the 1850s, where a reluctant queen and a conscientious king must navigate the treacherous currents of royal life, the shadows of the past, and the unexpected blossoming of their own hearts.
