Zahria De Rose is a princess born of fire-sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and heir to a kingdom that expects her to be silent and soft. But Zahria has never played by the rules of crowns or courts.
When an assassination threat forces her father to assign her a personal guard, Zahria is livid. She doesn't need protection. Especially not from him.
Ronan Valentino is nothing like the royal knights she's used to. He's ex-military, silent as stone, with a gaze that cuts deeper than blades. He doesn't bow. He doesn't flatter. And he never breaks.
Their first meeting is tense. Their second, worse.
But as danger creeps closer and betrayals bloom behind palace walls, Zahria begins to realize that Ronan isn't just here to guard her life.
He might just be the only one who sees who she truly is-and the only one she can't afford to fall for.

Bound By Oath
Sir Henry is bound by honor, his sword pledged to defend the throne. Yet no oath could prepare him for the torment of desiring the one woman he is sworn never to touch-the king's only daughter. Princess Elena is beauty wrapped in duty, her every move watched, her fate already written in a marriage of power. But when her eyes linger on Henry's, when her voice softens just for him, he feels the chains of loyalty straining against the pull of something far more dangerous. Their love is not gentle-it is a hunger they dare not name. Stolen glances in the corridors, brushes of hands that linger too long, whispers in the night that burn hotter than fire. Every secret meeting threatens scandal, every heartbeat risks ruin. Yet neither can stop, for desire grows wilder in the shadows where no one dares look. As court politics tighten like a noose and betrayal stirs in the kingdom, Henry and Elena are forced to choose: deny the passion that consumes them, or surrender to it and watch their world collapse. For in a realm where love is forbidden, nothing is more dangerous than desire itself.
