Book Excerpt
My mind swam with
negativity and fear; feelings I’d grown familiar with. They were almost
comforting, like old friends that I could rely on always to be there. Sullen, I
pushed away from the window, crossing my bedchamber to a wall-shelf brimming
with a collection of my favorite books. I ran my hand lightly over the bindings
one by one, enjoying the feeling of the leather on my fingertips.
My hand stopped on Far
from, Never There, a tale of grand adventure and love—two things I knew I
would never experience in my lifetime. I traced the author’s engraved name,
fingertips following the letters that spelled out “Elliott Rosen.” Feeling pensive,
I flipped through the time-stained parchment, stopping on a random page. My
finger hovering over the first line, I read aloud to my empty chamber: “His
lips were intoxicating, his tongue my curse, and as I laid my head down to
rest, my final thought was a prayer that I might never find myself sober
again.” Snapping the book closed, I hugged it tightly to my chest, wishing for
a day when I might experience that kind of love.
I already knew the truth, however—love was not in my
future. It just wasn’t something royalty had the luxury of searching for. I
served as a glorified pawn imprisoned in a royal game of chess, and my marriage
would serve as a power play to secure the throne.
