Stoic, grim, and arrogant, elite bodyguard RHYS LARSEN has two rules: protect his clients at all costs and never get emotionally involved with them. Ever. He was never tempted to break them, until he met her. Bridget von Aschenberg. A princess with a hidden fire, who sets his rules ablaze. Day by day, Bridget breaks down his defenses. He has sworn to protect her, but that is not enough for him. Bridget must become his. She is his princess. His forbidden fruit. His dirty fantasy.
Noble, persistent, and bound by the chains of duty, PRINCESS BRIDGET dreams of freedom, of being able to live and love according to her own desires. But when her brother abdicates the throne, Bridget is called to enter a loveless marriage of political convenience and become queen against her will.
As she faces the complexity—and backstabbing—of her new role, she is forced to hide how much she wants a man she cannot have. He is her bodyguard. Her protector. Her ultimate downfall. Unexpected and forbidden, their love could destroy an entire kingdom and lead them both to ruin.
