Book Two in the Royally in Love Duology She's a princess. He's her bodyguard. Neither of them planned on falling in love. Princess Arianna of the Casqueton Islands has spent her life serving the crown-and guarding her heart. Widowed and raising a daughter under the royal spotlight, she has no time for romance. Especially not with Byron Boone, her new bodyguard and a lifelong friend whose family has protected hers for generations. Boone has always known his place: beside Aria, never with her. But when threats against the royal family escalate, he's assigned to stay by her side around the clock. Sparks fly, old feelings resurface, and the line between protection and passion begins to blur. She never saw him as more than a friend. He's never stopped loving her. As danger closes in and desire deepens, Aria and Boone must decide if love is a luxury they can't afford-or the one thing they've been waiting for all along. Perfect for fans of slow-burn longing, protective heroes, and modern royal romance with a heart.
