Description

<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>

Story Behind The Book

Who doesn't love a hot cup of fragrant coffee? Coffee is a drink of life that warms you, wakens you, sobers and comforts you. My love of organic gardening and a passion for Hawaiian coffee led me to write this evocative and sensual story. Coffee is grown commercially in the islands of Hawaii, among the major growers--Maui, The Big Island (Kona region) and Kauai. I grew up a-sippin' on Kona coffee. Yes, started drinking the stuff when I was 11 years old! I would love to grow my own orchard of coffee (and macadamia nut) trees on my acre of island property someday. Since all of my books are seeded with some experience or knowledge of something I enjoy (ahem, all of my books deal with passionate, sexy relationships) I imagined a heroine who lived on an organic farm that grew vegetables and gourmet coffee on the island of Maui. Golden Falcone's property supplies estate coffee and fresh vegetables to local restaurants, and that's how she meets, and falls in love, with not one, but two incredibly sexy men--two brothers--one a millionaire, and the other a billionaire. When the father of her baby tragically dies, leaving Golden unwed and pregnant, she agrees to a marriage-of-convenience with Jiovanni Falcone to protect her baby's inheritance from his brother's greedy exes. She doesn't bargain on falling in love...with her own husband! Can she convince her billionaire groom to take a chance on his bargain bride?
