A prince in danger. A bodyguard undercover. Love wasn’t supposed to be part of the assignment.

Bodyguard Max Connery has spent his career keeping people safe, but when he’s tasked with protecting Prince Lucien of Gavala during his studies at a UK university, blending in becomes his greatest challenge. To stay close, Max must pose as a student—even joining the university's swim team to keep an eye on Lucien.

But the threats against Lucien are real, and when a tragic death on campus reveals just how serious the danger is, Max finds himself fighting not just for the prince's safety but for his heart. Lucien is charming, intelligent, and impossible to resist. And when the threat escalates, Max knows he can’t afford to fail.

The enemy is closing in, and Max will do whatever it takes to keep Lucien alive—even if protecting him means walking away from the man he’s falling for.
