A tale of forbidden love between a king and his male concubine.
In a Victorian world where gentlemen openly court other noblemen, the threat of scandal still lurks behind every velvet drape.
Years ago, King Arend Tollemach broke off a youthful engagement to a neighboring prince - his first love - and married a woman. All in service of the crown. Now, after his queen's untimely death, Arend undertakes a forbidden risk. He decides to claim a concubine, his first male lover, and bring him into his bed for one year. So, he turns to the one establishment renowned for the most sensual courtesans in the realm: the mysterious, discreet Temple Sapphor.
Arend's only stipulation? There must be no emotion involved in the transaction; he won't ever fall in love with another man, not after losing his prince years ago.
Julian never imagined he'd spend 10 years on his temple shelf, repeatedly passed over. But just when he fears never finding placement in a nobleman's bed - never falling in love - King Arend Tollemach walks into the temple. The monarch is a tempestuous, sensual man, and Julian instantly realizes he might fall in love. But can Julian help the gorgeous monarch risk his long-shuttered heart? Especially when a dangerous threat arises, forcing Arend to choose between his own happiness - and his throne - yet again.
The first in The Noble Pleasures series by New York Times best-selling author Deidre Knight, writing as Cooper Davis. A King Undone is a gay, m/m historical romance, set in an alternative Victorian world, with a HEA for now. The novel is sensual but not erotic and highly romantic in the tradition of m/f historical authors like Lisa Kleypas and Kathleen Woodiwiss. The Noble Pleasures series is very much for fans of C. S. Pacat's Captive Prince trilogy.

Geschichte
It's 1946, and the dust of World War Two has just begun to settle. When famous archaeologist Rufus Denby returns to London, his life and reputation are as devastated as the city around him. He's used to the most glamorous of excavations, but can't turn down the offer of a job in rural Sussex. It's a refuge, and the only means left to him of scraping a living. With nothing but his satchel and a mongrel dog he's rescued from a bomb site, he sets out to investigate an ancient church in the sleepy village of Droyton.

Geschichte
Jasper Detchard is a disgraced British officer, now selling his blade to the highest bidder. Currently that's Michael Elphberg, half-brother to the King of Ruritania. Michael wants the throne for himself, and Jasper is one of the scoundrels he hires to help him take it. But when Michael makes his move, things don't go entirely to plan - and the penalty for treason is death. Rupert of Hentzau is Michael's newest addition to his sinister band of henchmen. Charming, lethal, and intolerably handsome, Rupert is out for his own ends - which seem to include getting Jasper into bed.

Geschichte
Will Darling came back from the Great War with a few scars, a lot of medals, and no idea what to do next. Inheriting his uncle's chaotic secondhand bookshop is a blessing...until strange visitors start making threats. First a criminal gang, then the War Office, both telling Will to give them the information they want, or else. Will has no idea what that information is, and nobody to turn to, until Kim Secretan - charming, cultured, oddly attractive - steps in to offer help. As Kim and Will try to find answers and outrun trouble, mutual desire grows along with the danger.
