Princess Elora of Eldermoor is known for her sharp tongue, brilliant mind, and total disinterest in palace life. When she publicly challenges the crowned Duke of Shadowcrest, Maxwell Harrington, at a marriage ball, she becomes the target of a political threat.
To avoid scandal (and assassination), the royal council sends her into hiding.
Enter Commander Leopold Lysander, the king's most trusted-and most infuriatingly disciplined-bodyguard. He is ordered to protect Elora at all costs. His reputation?
Unshakable. Unbreakable. Untouchable.
Elora hates the idea. Leopold hates disobedience.
Both are furious when they discover the cover story:
They must pose as a married couple.
How might they move through this new setting of life? How could it become worse than it already is?
