A princess faking a romance to fool her parents.
Princess Catharine, second in line to Valleria's throne after her elder twin brother, has been issued a queen's edict: become engaged by the time of her elder brother's wedding, or else they'll choose someone for her. Cat selects Philip, a perfect pawn to fake a romance for her parents. Or, he would be perfect, if she wasn't falling for her bodyguard and Royal Protection agent, Edward 'Bash' Bashiera.

A bodyguard challenging her royal duty for love.
Eddie's venerable veneer hides a man devoted to his family and a past he'd rather forget. He's always kept things professional, until his princess is the one caught in the crossfire. Once she's in his arms, it's hard for him to let go.

The future of the monarchy is in her hands.
When circumstances change, and suddenly Catharine must ensure the family legacy, can she put aside a growing love for duty? And, when a terrible deception comes to light, will Edward be able to protect Cat when she needs it most?

This novel features a love between a bodyguard and his princess, families that love one another (even while they annoy each other), and a look behind fictional palace walls.

This is a standalone book in the series with an HEA and no cliffhanger, and features sexy scenes and swearing. Please look inside the book for full CW.
