Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">What happens when a king loses his prowess? The day Henry IV could finally declare he had vanquished his enemies, he threw it all away with an infamous deed. No English king had executed an archbishop before. And divine judgment was quick to follow. Many thought he was struck with leprosy—God's greatest punishment for sinners. From that point on, Henry's health was cursed and he fought doggedly on as his body continued to betray him—reducing this once great warrior to an invalid. Fortunately for England, his heir was ready and eager to take over. But Henry wasn't willing to relinquish what he had worked so hard to preserve. No one was going to take away his royal prerogative—not even Prince Hal. But Henry didn't count on Hal's dauntless nature, which threatened to tear the royal family apart.</span></p>

Story Behind The Book

Ever since I decided to seriously sit down and write a romance book, I was told, &quot;Don't write in first person point-of-view. It's difficult and readers don't like it as much as third person.&quot; So, I listened to those experts. And as most fiction authors will tell you, they hear the voices of their characters. And the heroine in Hide &amp; Seek had a lot to say. And she didn't want anyone else doing the talking. Hence...her story is told in her words. I'll never listen to those experts again!

&quot;If there’s one thing I learned while reading <em>Hide &amp; Seek</em>, it’s this: A childhood game has never been so fun, naughty, or hot!! Valerie Mann has written a deliciously wicked short erotic story that tugs at your heart and will have you clamoring for more&quot; ~ <a href="http://whippedcream2.blogspot.com/2009/10/hide-and-seek-by-valerie-mann.html?zx=6ee7ace06d4c5cbf">Whipped Cream Reviews</a><br /><br /> &quot;<em>Hide &amp; Seek</em> was a very cleverly written story with humor, sexual tension and wit. The characters were full of fun...I have never read any of Ms. Mann's work but love her writing style&quot; ~ <a href="http://yougottareadreviews.blogspot.com/search/label/Valerie%20Mann">You Gotta Read Reviews</a><br /><br />&quot;Have you ever read a story that grabbed you on the first page, bit into your ass and just wouldn't let go? But then, you really didn't want it to let go anyway...&quot; ~ Seriously Reviewed<br /><br />&quot;Valerie did a great job of giving the characters personality, and I quickly became enamoured with Kelly, our heroine. She was funny and likeable. And the hero, Nick, left me drooling...&quot; ~ <a href="http://bellaseroticquickies.blogspot.com/2009/11/hide-seek-by-valerie-mann.html">Mistress Bella Reviews</a>
