§Synopsis

01

He wants me to be his queen... Warned as a girl to keep her kisses to herself, Greer Galloway wants nothing to do with kisses--or love. Twice she's ignored the childhood warning and kissed a man, and both times ended in gutting, miserable heartbreak. Now she's sworn off all romance forever, determined to teach her classes and do her research, and live out the rest of her days alone. I want to be his everything. But Ash Colchester hasn't sworn off Greer--not at all. Still in love with the girl he once kissed in a circle of broken glass, this soldier-turned-President has never forgotten the taste of her kiss or the sound of her whispered, yes, please against his mouth. He's never forgotten the promises he wanted to make her and couldn't because she was too young for him then, and far too innocent for the things he needs. But he can't wait any longer . . . But can a fairy tale have a happily ever after for three people? Desperate to have her, Ash sends his best friend Embry to bring Greer to him, not knowing they have their own secrets, their own tragedies together. Their own cravings . . . Soon, Greer finds herself caught between past and present, pleasure and pain--and the two men who long for each other as much as they long for her. And as war and betrayal press ever closer, they tumble headlong into a passionate love affair that will change the world. My name is Greer Galloway and I serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States. From the USA Today bestselling author of Priest and Misadventures of a Curvy Girl comes a contemporary reimagining of the legend of King Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot--elegant, carnal, and unforgettable.

§About the Author

Sierra Simone

9 books in catalog

Blending sensual intensity with taboo themes and detailed character development, modern erotic romance offers readers complex emotional narratives and high-heat storytelling. Works such as Priest and American Queen established a distinctive presence in contemporary romance, attracting a dedicated audience through explicit, forbidden love stories.

Author Sierra Simone brings an intricate, thematic approach to adult fiction, crafting standalone novels and interconnected series that frequently explore spiritual tension, mythology, and Arthurian motifs.

Career & Background

Before writing under her well-known pen name, author Bethany Hagen earned a creative writing degree, published young adult fiction, and spent several years working as a librarian who frequently read romance novels at the information desk. Her varied background includes firing ceramics and teaching living history lessons in a one-room schoolhouse while wearing full 1904 school marm attire. As a young girl, she aspired to become a nun and later planned to study theology before redirecting her creative focus to adult fiction after writing a Jane Eyre fan fiction that evolved into Gothic Victorian erotica. Transitioning into indie publishing to explore taboo and erotic romance on her own terms, she has released 28 books under the Sierra Simone name, earning spots on the USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists, a starred review in Library Journal, and coverage in publications such as Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Buzzfeed, and Entertainment Weekly. She lives in the Kansas City area with her husband, two children, and two giant dogs.

Writing Style & Themes

Sierra Simone is an avid reader whose taste spans explicit erotica, non-fiction, and classic literature featuring brooding widowers. Her writing reflects a personal fondness for King Arthur, ancient mystery cults, foggy atmospheres, sparkling water, coffee, and leggings. She specializes in pairing explicit erotic romance with deep thematic themes, including faith, guilt, power dynamics, and pagan tradition. Whether reinterpreting Arthurian legend or placing religious devotion in conflict with intense desire, her work combines high-heat romance with emotional weight. Her novels have been published internationally in Czech, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, and Danish.
