I took an oath as a royal guard to serve, to protect, to never cross the line. A lifetime of loyalty. Every breath and decision shaped by duty to the crown.

One night, I let passion rule—and it changed us forever. 

​

She hated me for leaving. I loved her too much to stay. 

​

Now she’s back. The king’s new advisor walking the palace halls like she’d never left. Stronger. Smarter. As beautiful and tempting as ever. 

​

When danger threatens her, the only one I trust to keep her safe is me. I’ve failed her once. I’ll burn this world down before I do it again.

​

She’s mine. Mine to protect. Mine to love.
