When Knight Meets Day

Princess Cyrilla Alistair Thornhart has always known two truths:
that her father loves her dearly, and that he loves his kingdom even more.

Sweet in manner yet steady in spirit, Cyrilla rides through the lands on her beloved horse, Selvik, tending to her people with the warmth her lineage rarely allows. She is a princess both cherished and burdened, destined to inherit a throne she never asked for.

When the king appoints Ronan Lucifer, a stern and battle-worn knight, to guard her every step, Cyrilla expects nothing but irritation. Ronan sees her as a pampered heir with too much freedom and too little sense. But as days turn into nights, and duty turns into familiarity, his sharp disdain softens into something far more dangerous.

Yet the kingdom stands on a knife's edge.
The royal handbook forbids any union between heirs of the crown and those sworn to serve it. And the king, determined to preserve his power even after Cyrilla ascends, seeks to marry her to a foreign prince, binding her future to politics rather than desire.

As loyalty clashes with longing, princess and knight must choose:
the kingdom written for them,
or the love that was never meant to be.
