The War of Iris and Rose. The Secret of the Tourmaline

The struggle for the throne of Kaleria continues. All because Izhyeni de Bakkard made one careless mistake: she found a sacred relic of the royal dynasty—a ring with a purple tourmaline. If she hadn’t been married to an officer of the secret police, hiding the find at home would have been much easier. Regis de Bakkard knows that coronation of the rightful ruler is at stake. He won’t allow a coup. And no one can stop him—except, perhaps, his own heart. Now Izhyeni must choose between the voice of conscience and personal profit. There would be plenty of time to decide—if only she weren’t expecting a child and hadn’t been rushing to leave the capital. She won’t let Regis destroy her happiness a second time.
