The Lady's Choice

A Forced Proximity Epic Romantasy

By: Bernadette Rowley

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She came to win a crown. But fate may have chosen a different path—one forged in fire, longing, and sacrifice.


With her people starving and her estates on the brink of ruin, Lady Benae Branasar hatches a bold strategy: win the hand of Prince Jiseve of Brightcastle and secure his fortune to save her homeland. But first, she must outwit three rival princesses in a courtship competition where charm is weaponized and secrets run deep.


Assigned a reluctant escort—Jiseve’s brooding squire, Ramón Zorba—Benae expects indifference. What she finds is a man haunted by his past, hiding a strength and vulnerability that threaten to upend everything. As their connection deepens, Benae’s carefully laid plans begin to crumble.


Torn between duty and desire, she must choose: stay loyal to her people, or surrender to a love that could cost her everything.


The Lady’s Choice is the second book in the sweeping Queenmakers Saga, a passionate fantasy romance brimming with court intrigue, forbidden longing, and mythical creatures. If you love high-stakes magic, slow-burn tension, and “marriage of convenience gone wrong” stories, this one’s for you.
