For six years, Simon Riley has been the princess's shadow.
As her personal guard, his job is simple: protect her, obey the crown, and never cross the line between duty and desire.
He's spent six years doing exactly that.
Until something changes.
The princess is no longer the girl he was assigned to protect. She's a woman who knows him better than anyone should, and Simon is beginning to realize that the feelings he's spent years burying aren't going away.
But the closer they become, the harder it becomes to remember where duty ends and something far more dangerous begins.
Because someone is watching the crown.
And when the princess disappears, Simon realizes the greatest threat wasn't waiting outside the palace.
It was already inside.
