Following Battle Royal, beloved author Lucy Parker pens another
delicious romantic comedy about a fake relationship between a grumpy
royal bodyguard and the charming, sunny assistant who melts his cold,
hard exterior.
Petunia De Vere enjoys being the personal assistant to lovable, bumbling
Johnny Marchmont. But the job has its share of challenges, including the
royal's giant, intimidating bodyguard, Matthias. Pet and Matthias are
polar opposites--she's spontaneous and enthusiastic, he's rigid and
stoic--but she can sense there's something softer underneath that tough
exterior...
For Matthias Vaughn, protecting others is the name of the game. But
keeping his royal charge out of trouble is more difficult than he
imagined because everywhere Johnny goes, calamity ensues, and his
petite, bubbly assistant is often caught in the fray. Matthias hates the
idea of Pet getting hurt and he's determined to keep everyone safe, even
if it means clashing with his adorable new coworker.
When a clumsy moment leads to a questionable tabloid photo, the press
begins to speculate that Pet is romantically involved with Johnny. To
put an end to the rumors, the royal PR team asks Pet and Matthias to
stage a fake relationship and the two reluctantly agree. But as they
spend more time together outside of work, they begin to wonder what real
emotions this pretend connection might uncover. Especially when a
passionate kiss leaves both of their heads spinning...
