When dark secrets threaten the Queen
he loves, betrayal is the only choice.

Riddick

Why didn’t I have the good sense to walk away when I learned Khara was the Queen?

I should have said goodbye.

Stayed away.

I damn sure shouldn’t have touched her.

Now I’m in so deep I can’t imagine my world without her. Even knowing guys like me with black marks on their souls don’t get happy endings. She deserves better than the likes of me.

She’s making me yearn for things I have no right to want.

It’s a mistake to give in to the magnetic pull between us. And yet just a single taste of the sweetness that is Lytua’s Queen seals my fate.

Maybe I never had a chance.

But when dark secrets from my past threaten her life and her standing as Queen, I have to take swift action.

There’s nothing I won’t do to keep Khara safe.

So I betray the woman who’s come to mean all to me. And I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Queen of His Heart is the exciting second half of the Queen’s Desire duet. Khara and Riddick’s epic love story began with Book 1 of the Crown and Heart series, International Incident.
