The Princess in the Tower: A Lady Knight Tale (Steamy Arthurian Lesbian Romance)

By K.D. West

A lady knight rescues the princess from the highest tower...

And discovers passion neither of them ever knew

When Rose's father fails to come back from an attempt to save Princess Lily from a neighboring kingdom from the notorious and mysterious Black Knight, she does not hesitate to strap on her father's old armor, and ride into the dark forest to defeat the knight and rescue the princess herself.
A steamy lesbian Arthurian romance short, The Princess in the Tower is bestselling author K.D. West's modern take on a very old story — exciting, fun... and very, very sexy.

Preview:

Rose staggered her way to the high tower, pulling her way up the winding stair.

As she reached the top, breathless and sweating in her not-quite-red armor, she found a room not entirely unlike her own at home: beautiful tapestries on two curved walls, arms on the other two.

And in the middle, a large bed.

And on the bed, the most beautiful creature that Rose had ever seen.

Rose had spent most of her time with her father, with her brothers and with the men of her father’s manor. Oh, she knew the other girls and women, but since her mother’s death when Rose was little, none had been her friend. She had always been Sir Roland’s daughter to them: the young mistress. The young mistress who liked to play with swords and disdained dresses for all but feast days.

The women of the valley were working folk who wore home-spun clothes. She herself was as sturdily built as many of the older boys and favored trousers and tunics.

She’d never known any woman like the one who slept on the bed.

The princess — for this must be she — was tiny, where Rose was large, and pale, where Rose was ruddy. She wore a dress of flowing, white silk that shown in the dim morning light of the chamber. Her hair was like spun faery gold and her lips…

K.D. West

K.D. West is an Amazon best-selling author of contemporary short fiction, a teacher, and a performer living in a small suburb of a big city in the American West: "Not a huge amount to say -- I'm an author of steamy stories who happens to be a teacher; these things don't mix well in public, so I tend to be fairly quiet about real life in my blogging. I am, however, interested in all sorts of things -- books, writing, theater, mythology, and, obviously, erotica! I'm a huge reader of genre fiction -- mostly mysteries and fantasy, but also science fiction and historical romance." West is writing two intertwined series involving a young woman and her older lover (the Juliet Takes Flight and Erotic Tales: Letters to Allison stories), a series of stories about friends discovering that they can become much more (Friendly Ménage Tales), and a series of stories that the Brothers Grimm might have collected, if there had been traditional tales where the heroine got the princess (Sapphic Fairytales). Also on the way: an erotic paranormal/urban fantasy novel involving a long lost friend coming all-but-literally back from the dead, and showing a happily married couple just what they'd been missing.

THE PRINCESS IN THE TOWER

A Lady Knight's Tale

Separation

Rose, Rose, Rose Red

     Will I ever see thee wed?

I will marry at my will, sire,

     At my will.

Sir Roland was a rare thing: a lord and knight beloved of his tenants and respected by his peers. The people of his valley loved him because he enforced the law with honor and justice, and kept the peace with an even, fair hand, raising his sword to none who did not deserve it. The knights and barons of the kingdom respected him because he was a formidable warrior and a strong voice at court for reason and compassion.

His three children were his pride: his eldest, Erec, who would succeed him, and who was his squire; Percival, who was studying to serve as the valley’s priest, and his youngest, Rose.

Sir Roland would never have said it, for he loved his sons dearly, but no one doubted that Rose was his favorite. She could out-fence and out-joust Erec on the training ground more often than not, she was better read than Percival, and she shared her father’s loyalty and sense of justice. If she were taller, broader of shoulder, and ruddier of cheek than was accounted pretty in those days, no one dared say it in her father’s hearing.

And if none of the boys in the valley had ever managed to turn her head — let alone spread her legs — no one would ever have dreamed of teasing Rose about it, since she would have made them regret it. They would have ended up face down in the dirt, listening to a lecture on the ancients’ teachings regarding free will, liberty, and happiness.

Rose had, as a knight’s daughter, presided over festivals in her father’s hall. At one particularly raucous Yule-tide masque, the king’s second son, who had been touring the kingdom, had singled her out, dancing with her through most of the evening, though she was half a head taller than he. He had been clever and polite and charming.
