Caroline Blake came to Versailles looking for a ghost story. She found the Sun King. For more than three centuries, Louis XIV has been bound to the palace he once ruled, trapped by a curse that allows him only seven nights each year in the flesh. History remembers him as the Sun King. Caroline knows him as Léo Laurent: arrogant, commanding, infuriatingly certain of himself, and devastatingly alive after dark.
But when daylight returns, so does the curse. Caroline should walk away. Instead, she starts asking questions. Why do the mirrors remember him? Why does Versailles seem to respond to his presence? And why did the curse react to Caroline the moment she stepped inside the palace?As she uncovers a secret history buried beneath three centuries of legend, Versailles begins to wake around them. Old magic stirs beneath the gilded halls, and the woman who cursed Louis begins to seem far less dead than history claims.
Seven nights are all they have. Seven nights to uncover what happened to the king Versailles lost. Seven nights to discover why Caroline was never merely a visitor. Breaking the curse could finally set Louis free. or bind Caroline to it forever. Haunted by the King is a spicy historical romantasy filled with forbidden desire, haunted mirrors, royal secrets, dangerous magic, and a cursed king who discovers that the most dangerous thing waiting for him at Versailles may not be the witch who destroyed him, but the woman who makes him want to live again.
