A princess. Escalating threats. An ex for a bodyguard. A love that never failed…
After a threatening note is left on her car, Emmeline "Emme" Astenburg Baniff, Princess of Lubladonia, must return home until the security company her parents hired can neutralize the threat. She's not thrilled about leaving the US where she's built a quiet life out of the spotlight or being escorted back to Lubladonia by a personal bodyguard. But when she discovers that bodyguard is her ex-boyfriend Travis? Not a chance!
Travis "Ox" Oxford knows he messed things up with Emme. There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't think about his first and only love. What she's doing. Where she landed after college. Who she married. If she had a houseful of kids. But Emme Baniff was way out of his league. She came from money, and he'd climbed his way out of the gutter. She grew up with loving parents, and his family was the epitome of dysfunction. She looked at life through rose colored glasses of faith. He only saw the raw, the ugly, the worst in people. She was dainty and feminine, and every time they hugged, he worried that he might hurt her. In the end, he had, but it was for her best. They were such opposites, she had to know that they could never be together long term.
Pairing them together even for a short time wouldn't work either. Especially when Ox learns that his princess is actually a real one, not just a cute nickname. What else doesn't he know about her? He's determined to do his job and get back to his life. But when the threats escalate, Emme proves that she's stronger than he thought, and when he leaves this time, his heart might never recover. Can these two opposites get their happily-ever-after? Or will Ox allow their differences to drive an even deeper wedge between them?
