AmazonSome truths bloom no matter how carefully they’re hidden.
Anne lives in a world where everyone has a soulmate.
Those lucky enough to find their soulmates are bound by a union deeper than affection, an immutable connection that exists beyond reason. The only way that connection is revealed is through the blossoming of soulflowers on the skin, wherever soulmates touch. Privately, everyone yearns to find the one destined for them.
Lady Anne knows how to obey. She keeps her head down and her feelings tightly bound beneath woolen sleeves and courtly smiles. As one of the Queen’s Ladies-in-Waiting, Anne is bound by duty and decorum, serving a Queen who despises soulmates above all else.
A single, careless touch reveals to Anne a damning truth. Her soulmate is Edmund Thornage, the King’s Spymaster; a man who is feared, brilliant, and utterly forbidden.
