Blurb:
Her duty is to the crown. Her heart has other plans.
Princess Freya has spent her life following the rules—until a sharp-tongued, infuriatingly handsome American bodyguard turns her world upside down. With an unprecedented election threatening to shake the monarchy, she’s determined to prove she’s the right ruler for Candora. The last thing she needs is a distraction—especially one who challenges her at every turn and sees right through her carefully composed facade. But the more time she spends with Elliot, the harder it is to ignore the spark between them.
Elliot never planned on playing protector to a princess, let alone one who is stubborn, witty, and far too tempting for his own good. His job is simple: keep Freya safe, keep her out of trouble, and—most importantly—keep things professional. But between royal scandals, political chaos, and a growing attraction that refuses to be ignored, maintaining his distance is getting harder by the day. And when a shocking turn of events threatens everything they both hold dear, Elliot is faced with an impossible choice: duty or desire.
With the future of the monarchy at stake and the world watching their every move, Freya and Elliot must decide—stick to the plan, or risk it all for a love that defies the rules.
Tropes: princess/bodyguard, slow burn, protective MMC, banter, fun side characters, political intrigue, found family

Blurb:
With his knack for bad luck, Liam isn’t surprised when he’s awarded house arrest after protecting a fan at his last show. What he didn’t expect was the girl of his dreams showing up with his lunch delivery and turning his confinement into an unexpected friendship. Despite his many love songs, he’s not big on relationships, but something about Kasey has him questioning his commitment to the single life. It doesn’t hurt that she keeps inspiring new songs.
Kasey isn’t a fan of the wealthy and famous, and Liam embodies both. But he’s also friends with A-lister Derek Riley, a Hollywood heavyweight who could open doors for her screenplays. Connections have burned her before, so striking up a friendship with Liam seems futile even though Liam keeps defying all her expectations, making her believe something good could happen in her life for once. But the last time she trusted someone, she ended up with more than a broken heart.
When a tabloid photo threatens Kasey’s coveted anonymity, Liam seizes the opportunity to invite her to hide out in his house. The problem? He has no clue if she’s staying for him or for his connections. But as their relationship deepens, he realizes he’s fallen too far to let her go. She has changed his whole world, and he just has to hope she’ll let him change hers in return.
