Alexandra Rowland answered Jennevieth's question: Hi! Just finished "Yield Under Great Persuasion" LOVED IT!!! But I was wondering, is there an epilogue or a sequel to it? It ended in the best part! I wanna see what's next for our couple 😭 Please? 🥺🙏 Yes, sort of! A new edition of it is coming out from Bramble this summer, and it's got about 10,000 words of new story at the end! :))

Quotes by Alexandra Rowland (?)

“She stopped at the foot of the bed. “Good morning, Your Highness,” she said. “As we are alone, I am using my discretion to dispense with formalities, as per the privileges granted to me by my rank.” “Yep,” he mumbled around the stick. “Go right ahead. I deserve it.” “You sure made a decision, eh? There was a decision to be made there, and you really just made the shit out of it. My gods.” “I know,” he groaned, and pulled a pillow over his head too. “But he made some really good points.” “Oh, I bet he did.”

“Who you are isn't the thoughts in your head or the fears in your heart or the name someone else gives you or takes from you. Who you are is what you do. It's the actions you take, or that you don't take. It's the way that you help people, or don't. It's the good that you put into the world, or the bad.”
