She craves freedom. He longs for peace. But in a world of power and secrets, love may come at the highest cost.

When her cousin married the King of Cardenas, Tatiana Angelo was thrust into a world of glittering ballrooms and whispered scandal. Once a carefree Romani dancer, she believed she'd found her fairy tale in the arms of a charming nobleman—until he abandoned her and shattered the illusion. Now, all she wants is to reclaim her independence and the untamed spirit she once embraced.

Then she meets Adrian Wilshire.

Mysterious, brooding, and devastatingly handsome, Adrian awakens something wild and hopeful in Tatiana. Their connection is instant, their passion undeniable. But the truth Adrian hides could ruin everything.

Once the illegitimate son of a courtesan, Adrian never expected to inherit a noble title—or the burdens that came with it. As his estranged half-brother plots to destroy him, and the weight of duty threatens to crush the life he's built, Adrian must face a difficult truth: the freedom Tatiana longs for may be the one thing his new life can't offer.

Can two souls bound by longing—but torn by duty—forge a love strong enough to survive betrayal, secrets, and the legacy of a name neither of them chose?

Wild Gypsy Rose is the fourth passionate installment in The Royals of Cardenas, a lush historical/fantasy romance series filled with forbidden desire, royal intrigue, and unforgettable love stories that defy the rules of court and class alike.
