Jill Woodley’s first book, also the first book in her series, is out now on Amazon:
Her unique skills keep her safe. Until her greatest strength becomes her fatal weakness.
Princess Christal of Larrochar learned long ago that to marry was to risk her life. At twenty-eight she’s resolutely unwed, trusted assistant to the King’s Cultivator and an expert in rare plants. Then, to her horror, she receives a marriage proposal she can’t refuse. All Prince Daire of Caldermor cares about is elan—the mysterious golden beans that bring his family untold wealth and power. If Daire wants Christal, elan must be at the root of his interest.
Christal’s father would sacrifice her to discover elan’s secrets. The Calderrans would kill to keep them secure. To save herself Christal will need every kernel of knowledge she’s ever gleaned. And the support of Kiran Randsen, elite soldier turned Calderran bodyguard, who may be something even rarer than elan—a man she’d trust with her life.

What a gorgeous cover! This book sounds like fun. Congratulations on your first book, Jill.
Thank you, Deb! It’s a joy and a relief finally to get a book over the line.
Cover: the model was a lucky find–she’s perfect for Christal. Everything else is thanks to Deranged Doctor Design. They were wonderful to work with.
Love the premise!
Thanks, Gin! I’d never have written this book without Jenny’s class at McDaniel. I can see the lessons we learned every time I read through it. Feeling very blessed to have had that opportunity.
Sounds interesting. Will seek out. Congrats!
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy it.
Congratulations – and love the cover!
Thank you! I have to confess I shed a happy tear when I saw the cover proposal. Deranged Doctor hit it out of the park on the first attempt.
Sounds great. Love the cover too. Will pop over and order. Congratulations!
Thank you!
Downloaded it. Looking forward to a good read!
Bought it and, darn it, already finished. LOVED it!
Already finished and loved it? Thank you! You just made my day 😀
Thank you so much! Hope it lives up to expectations.
Congratulations, Jilly! I also love the cover, and the blurb is intriguing. Well done!
Thank you, Brenda! And I’m so happy to hear that the blurb caught your interest.
Read this post yesterday, bought the book, started last night, and could not put it down! I’ve finished it already! When can we expect the next? VERY well-written!
I’m SO happy to read this. Thank you, Moira!
The next book is Daire’s story, working title The Pulse of Princes. It will be ready some time in 2020. Sorry I can’t be more specific. The book after Daire’s is already written, so hopefully that one should go more quickly. I’m thrilled you want to read more!
Downloaded the sample and read it. Looks good so far. Bought it.
Looks interesting, so that’s another book I bought after learning about it here.
Thank you.
Liked it, hoping for more!
