He’s the prince’s protector. The assassin’s target. And the one man who can destroy him.

Prince Sebastian’s life is a gilded cage. As the spare to the throne, his only job is to smile for the cameras and not cause a scandal—a job he's failing spectacularly. Haunted by his past, his recklessness is a ticking time bomb. The last thing he needs is a new bodyguard, a brooding, immovable Irishman who looks at him with cold contempt.

Ronan Pierce is a man on a secret mission, and it has nothing to do with babysitting royalty. He's a deep-cover agent hunting a traitor who shattered his world. Protecting a self-destructive prince is just a cover, and Sebastian is a spoiled, infuriating distraction… and a temptation Ronan can't afford.

When a deadly conspiracy turns a routine royal tour into a hunting ground, the line between duty and desire blurs into something dangerous. Ronan is the only one Sebastian can trust, yet he’s a man with his own secrets. As the threats escalate and their shared moments of vulnerability ignite an impossible attraction, they are forced to rely on each other to survive.

But in a web of traitors and lies, the deadliest secret is the one they share. Trusting each other could save their lives—or be the very thing that gets them killed.
