About this ebook

A princess bride must resist falling in love with the rogue assigned to protect her…

Disgraced ex-knight Royce Saint-Michel was banished from his homeland because of an impulsive act that cost him all he held dear. Now, he has the chance to reclaim his birthright—if he agrees to escort the lovely Princess Ciara across a war-torn land to her royal wedding. The two set off alone through the mountains, but forbidden desire soon proves even more dangerous than the assassins on their trail. With the fate of two kingdoms hanging in the balance, will Royce and Ciara do as honor and duty demand...or surrender to the longing in their hearts?

This is the 3rd book of Shelley Thacker's I've read. I have loved all of them. The historical romance's are wrote with great detail of suspense & passion. Thank you & please continue writing.

She brought to life a fascinating, glittering and sometimes dangerous world. It was a well crafted story and ultimately a very satisfying romance. Delightful, great read.
