Book excerpt: From the author of the popular Coach's Boys series comes another clean and wholesome romance in the Royal Sweethearts series, The Princess and the Bodyguard. Some lines just aren't meant to be crossed… Briannon Gallagher-Hughes is everything a man could ever hope for in a woman. Beautiful, intelligent, kind, and loyal. A man would be blessed to win her heart—and he knows it's his for the taking. But Fin was hired to protect the royal family, not to fall in love with his king's daughter. Her patience has finally run out… The moment they met, Briannon knew Fin was the man she wanted to spend her life with, but his stubborn pride has kept them apart for fifteen long years. Now, with her biological clock ticking, she realizes it's time to let go of her dreams—before she's too old to have the children she so desperately desires. If you enjoy your romance with a little intrigue, secrets, and even some danger, The Casteloria Royals is a series you can't help but fall in love with. Each story is complete with no cliffhanger endings. Originally published as A Cold Day in Paradise.
