Unholy Vows

She's the princess he was sworn to protect. He's the bodyguard she was never supposed to touch.

Corina Lavnila has spent her life playing a role-the adopted princess, the well-mannered royal, the perfect pawn in a game she never agreed to. But when she's forced into an arranged marriage to secure the kingdom's future, she realizes she only has one choice: ruin herself before they can use her.

And she knows exactly whose hands she wants to do it with.

Rick Sean is a soldier first, a man second. Protecting Corina is his duty, not his desire. But the way she pushes, tempts, and challenges him makes staying away a war he's destined to lose.

Until the game they're playing turns deadly. Until secrets unravel. Until he's forced to make a choice-betray his king or betray himself.

Because in the end, it's not just Corina who's been trapped in this palace.

It's him too.

She's bound to another. He's bound by his oath. But desire never follows rules.
