He’s been a hostage, a stud, a royal imposter — used by all, kept by none.
They call him Shepherd. A man with no name who always serves the kingdom and is forgotten after. Except this time, Queen Marguerite awaits his return like the husband she should have had. And then, gods help him, so does King Reynald.
What Shepherd once did for the country, he now does for love. On the throne, Margot learns the true meaning of the royal we: the husband who hand-picked her lover holding her fast while Shepherd takes her like a spoil of war, giving no quarter until she demands both her men at once.
But someone saw the king riding hard across the countryside while His Majesty held court, and now the nobles have begun to whisper. An ambitious lord grows bold enough that the queen imagines his head on a spike. The ruse that once saved the kingdom now threatens to topple it and snatch back the family Shepherd never dared to want.
Will a man with no name of his own win the place between his royal lovers, or lose his head for reaching so far above his station?
The Royal We is the 15,500-word fifth and final story in The Queen’s Men, a five-part MMF historical erotic romance series. The books stand alone, but read in order for the sweet and filthy HEA awaiting the king, his queen, and the imposter who belongs between them.
