Description
Contemporary royal romance novel Twisted Games by Ana Huang.
About the book:
Stoic, broody, and arrogant, elite bodyguard Rhys Larsen has two rules: 1) Protect his clients at all costs 2) Do not become emotionally involved. Ever. He has never once been tempted to break those rules...until Bridget von Ascheberg.
Bridget is a princess with a stubborn streak and a hidden fire. Shes nothing Rhys expected and everything he never knew he needed. Day by day, inch by inch, she breaks down his defenses until hes faced with a truth he can no longer deny: he swore an oath to protect her, but all he wants is to ruin her.
Regal, strong-willed, and bound by the chains of duty, Princess Bridget dreams of the freedom to live and love as she chooses. But when her brother abdicates, shes suddenly faced with the prospect of a loveless, politically expedient marriage and a throne she never wanted. As she navigates the intricacies-and treacheries-of her new role, she must also hide her desire for her bodyguard.
This is a story of unexpected and forbidden love that could destroy a kingdom and doom them both.
