The Boris Conspiracy - Victoria M. Mensch

**THE BORIS CONSPIRACY**

1930s Bulgaria. Queen Ioanna of Savoy lives a gilded prison-loyal wife to King Boris III, mother to two heirs, yet lonely and starved for passion amid rising war shadows.

Enter Stanislav Balan, the king's elegant secretary. Their forbidden affair ignites in palace shadows, gardens of Balchik, mountain lodges-reckless, consuming, dangerous.

But as Hitler demands Bulgarian Jews and troops, King Boris faces impossible choices. Stanislav whispers the unthinkable to the Queen: the only way to save her, her children, and Bulgaria is... the king's death.

A heart attack-or poison? As crimson light bleeds through stained glass, Ioanna mourns the husband she betrayed... wondering if she loved his assassin more.

**Dark historical romance of royal betrayal, wartime conspiracy, and passion that shakes kingdoms.**

*Inspired by declassified archives and the enduring mystery of King Boris III's 1943 death.*
