The Elite (Romantic Suspense)

"Keep your head down," he said. "I don't like what's going on in there."

Daphne leaned forward until she was almost bent in half, cheek pressed against the satin skirt of her gown. "What is happening in there?" she managed after a moment. And who are you?"

There was a long beat of silence while the man maneuvered the car through the streets. She heard him click on his radio. "This is Phantom. Gemini is in custody. In route."

***

Daphne spent her life in her brother's shadow as the third-in-line to the Montrovian throne.

Jacob Marchant pledged his life to ensure the safety of the Montrovian royal family by living entirely in the shadows. No one can know who he is or what he does.

When saving Daphne's life inadvertently blows Jacob's cover, they have no choice but to work together to protect her family and, perhaps, secure the future of the country they love.

The Elite updates weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays.
