Embraced by the Emperor

A powerful emperor behaving as a rake is always going to be a challenge, even for a strong, determined princess.

Isabella of Portugal has made a pact: if she doesn't wed Emperor Charles V, she'll don a habit and become a nun. And right now, that habit is looming on the horizon.

Her future husband is flitting around Tudor England, partying with the great minds of the Renaissance in Italy, wielding his sword, and claiming more territory, completely unruffled about the fact that he needs a wife and heirs.

But Isabella is a fighter and a believer. She just needs the chance to win him over. She'll bide her time.

Luckily, Charles finally decides he doesn't want to wait any longer to claim a bride. He needs to marry. He wants a soft, sexy woman in his bed.

From the moment he sees Isabella walking down the aisle, Charles realizes his life will never be the same. A political force to be reckoned with, she is captivating and intelligent, . He is consumed with desire and naked lust. He would never have waited so long to claim her had he known her beauty and sensuality.

But the sixteenth century is a time of turbulence and unease, battles, and deceit. With Henry VIII causing havoc with Rome and King Francis a thorn in the Emperor's side, can Charles keep his empress satisfied and safe?

Will they get their longed-for fairytale ending?

And just how deeply intimate will this would-be nun allow him to be with her perfect body?

*EMBRACED BY THE EMPEROR is based on real characters from European history. Many facts are true, though of course what goes on inside the bedchamber is entirely from the author's raunchy imagination.
