Book Description
He crossed dimensions to claim her as his queen—but her reign may destroy his world.
A Bron Universe Novel
Adrienne Backett wants two simple little things this spring break: rest and relaxation. After nearly four years of slaving away for her college education, she deserves a holiday. What she gets is pulled into another dimension by a man who claims she's his rightful queen.
Malik, King of Ulan, has until his birthday to find his bride or he must forfeit his throne. When a spell reveals her location, he will do anything, even cross dimensions, to claim her as his own.
As if fending off a lusty king isn't enough of a headache, Adrienne finds herself a pawn in a rival monarch's plot to bring Malik's world to its knees. But is the real danger being stuck in the middle of a power struggle between rival kingdoms? Or the damage Malik could do to her heart?
Warning: this title contains adult language, talking animals, violence, and scenes of near rape.
Excerpt
“Impressive.” He came forward and placed his hand on Adrienne’s cheek. He smiled. “I would expect no less from my future queen.”
Proud.
Adrienne felt proud. Her annoyance with Malik’s presence changed the second he touched her. She could have pulled away but decided not to, a small concession since he’d given in to her the day before—albeit to save his palace.
His touch was light and it didn’t seem like he would do more. She looked up at him. His eyes mirrored the pride she felt.
Malik was proud.
The emotion she felt was his. Knowing he was pleased with her tiny accomplishment made her happy—in a little kid kind of way. Any praise was good praise, no matter whom it came from...

- "D. Renee Bagby has written a highly intensified novel. You can truly relate to the characters, and more importantly to their emotions. All of the emotions in the novel, in my opinion, truly help to make Adrienne as great as it is... The novel also flowed absolutely wonderful, and you just have to continue reading to see just where these two will go, as well as what is on the next page..."

- "Wow! ADRIENNE is an exquisite example of world building, and D. Renee Bagby kept this reader on the edge of her seat. All of the characters are complete, and I could hear the dialogue and feel the tension. The writing is superb, the action is almost non-stop and brings to reality so many lovely ideas about magick and transportation. I was biting my nails in reaction to all the perils, betrayals, danger, treachery, hope and joy that are such integral parts of this splendid romance. Get it, read it, keep it."
