A deliciously tense, slow-burn descent into forbidden temptation where royal duty clashes with an all-consuming, rule-breaking desire.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like standing in the center of a tightening coil, waiting for the inevitable, spectacular snap. It is a propulsive, high-angst experience defined by its excruciatingly delicious slow burn and the crackling, undeniable chemistry between two people who absolutely should not be together. The atmosphere is steeped in the glamorous but suffocating weight of royal expectations, contrasting sharply with the raw, visceral intensity of hidden desires. The prose is direct and unapologetically dramatic, designed to keep the pages turning as the emotional stakes climb higher. It is a perfect escape for readers who crave the intoxicating thrill of forbidden love, fiercely possessive protectors, and the deeply satisfying payoff of watching impenetrable emotional walls finally crumble into ash.

About the book
She can never be his...but he’s taking her anyway.
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 her.
Bridget von Ascheberg. A princess with a stubborn streak that matches his own and a hidden fire that reduces his rules to ash. She’s nothing he expected and everything he never knew he needed.
Day by day, inch by inch, she breaks down his defenses until he’s faced with a truth he can no longer deny: he swore an oath to protect her, but all he wants is to ruin her. Take her.
His forbidden fruit.
His every depraved fantasy.
