About the book: 2022 / She can never be his... but he will take her anyway. Stoic, brooding and arrogant, elite bodyguard Rhys Larsen adheres to two rules: 1) Protect your clients at all costs 2) Do not give in to emotions. Never. And he had never been tempted to break these rules... until her. Brigitte von Ascheberg. A stubborn princess that rivals his own stubbornness, and a hidden fire that burns his rules to ashes. She is not what he expected, and what he never knew he needed. Day by day, inch by inch, she breaks down his defenses until he is faced with a truth he can no longer deny: he gave vowing to protect her, but all he wants is to destroy her. Take her. Because she is his. His princess. His forbidden fruit. All his depraved fantasies.18+
