I’m no princess. He’s no protector.
But this is now my kingdom. Blood will spill. Hearts will break.
I just wish it wasn’t my own
ISABELLA
I was my father’s pride and joy, but I never wanted the crown.
The danger and responsibility of my family’s notorious legacy is too much.
But when it’s handed to me without warning, there’s no way I can say no.
To make matters worse my father has already hired a protector.
Someone who can train me to fight.
To kill.
But he’s anything but a defender.
He’s my worst nightmare brought to life.
So why am I so drawn to him? And why does it feel like all he wants to do is break me?
Could it be that this man is as broken as I am…?
ARTURO
I don’t do happy endings.
Men like me don’t need or deserve them.
My life is an endless cycle of blood, torment, and scars.
But she stirs something deep within me. Something I thought I lost a long time ago.
She might be forbidden, but I’ll stop at nothing to have her, consequences be damned.
She’s mine.
