Desire and Duty in a Royal World
When Princess Bridget von Ascheberg meets her new bodyguard Rhys Larsen, two worlds collide. She's a royal seeking normalcy in America, away from the suffocating protocols of Eldorra. He's an ex-Navy SEAL with unbreakable rules and an iron discipline. "I don't get personally involved with clients," he states coldly, establishing boundaries that immediately frustrate Bridget's quest for independence. Their first meeting sets the tone for what becomes an impossible attraction-she resents his controlling nature; he finds her recklessness infuriating. Yet beneath their clashing personalities lies an undeniable chemistry. When Rhys intimidates a fraternity boy harassing Bridget at a bar, we glimpse something beyond professional obligation in his protective stance. The princess, meanwhile, finds herself simultaneously irritated by his rules and strangely comforted by his unwavering presence. What makes their dynamic so compelling is the tension between what they want and what duty demands. Rhys has never broken his professional code in five years as a bodyguard. Bridget has never escaped the golden cage of royal expectations. Living under the same roof, they begin a delicate dance of attraction and resistance that neither is prepared to acknowledge-a dance where every small revelation becomes significant.
