Title: KNIGHT'S FORK
Author: ROWENA CHERRY
Publisher: DORCHESTER PUBLISHING
Blurb:
“Carpe Scrotum. Seize Life by the Testicles.”
—Electra-Djerroldina
The Queen Consort of the Volnoth needs a sperm donor, and only one green-eyed god has the right stuff. Little does she know she has pinned all her hopes on the crown jewels of the fabled Royal Saurian Djinn. Not only is he the son of her greatest enemy, but he has taken a vow of chastity.
“When forced to choose between two evils,
pick the o ne you’ve never tried before.… SEX.”
—’Rh ett
The Saurian Knight is caught between a problem father who has all the moral integrity of a Mafia Don, and a married Princess who would stop at nothing to h ave his seed in her belly. No matter which way he turns, he’s “forked.”
“Why would a male both hope for and fear a lover?
…Ah! Inexperience perhaps?”
—Tarrant-Arragon
Taking the wrong lover…in the wrong place, at the wrong time…is dangerous. And when the High and Mighty intervene, it can be fatal. Can true love and a pure White Knight’s virtue triumph, when society loves a right royal scandal?
