American Queen
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
A bold, unapologetically kinky reimagining of Arthurian legend set in modern American politics that doesn't shy away from complex polyamorous dynamics. Simone crafts an addictive blend of political intrigue and explicit romance that will leave you desperate for the next installment.
Synopsis
It starts with a stolen kiss under an English sky, and it ends with a walk down the aisle. It starts with the President sending his best friend to woo me on his behalf, and it ends with my heart split in two. It starts with buried secrets and dangerous desires…and ends with the three of us bound together with a hateful love sharper than any barbed wire. My name is Greer Galloway, and I serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States. This is the story of an American Queen.
