Whispers of the Heart

Anastasia Thorne's fate had been decided for her when she was just 18 years old. She would be set to marry Henry, the first-born Prince of the Astor family. His family lived in the rivalling kingdom of Ardellin, and it was the only way to help unite the two kingdoms and prevent a full-blown war from breaking out.

Princess Anastasia always accepted her duties as they came. She understood that as a princess, there would be many difficult responsibilities in her life. She pushed down any personal feelings about the arrangement and constantly reminded herself that she should be honored to have this opportunity.

It becomes harder and harder for her to accept that this was her fate as she starts to realize that she's began to fall for her bodyguard and close friend, Leo Dowell. She knew that it was wrong. A princess's job was to marry a Prince, not her bodyguard. But if it's wrong, then why does it feel so right to even just be near him? And how would she even begin to bring this fact up to her family?
