A Royal Mile (Return to Dublin Street Book 2)

About this book

Senior year is supposed to be about academic focus and preparing for the future, but for one university student, it quickly becomes a battlefield. Her plans are derailed by a war of words with Sebastian Thorne, a man with royal lineage and a habit of deception. Still stung by his past dishonesty, she is determined to keep her distance. However, Sebastian has other plans; he is intent on earning her friendship, even if it requires him to participate in a psychological research study just to secure her presence. As the two navigate their friction, their dynamic shifts from contentious hostility to a complicated, magnetic bond. Sebastian’s charm and his ability to see the best in her begin to dismantle her defenses, pushing her to become a more confident and courageous version of herself. Despite the undeniable chemistry, the path to romance remains treacherous. Sebastian is plagued by inner demons that compel him to enforce a strict "friend zone" boundary, terrified that his personal baggage will destroy the very person he has grown to cherish. As outside pressures mount, they must decide if their connection is worth the risk of letting their walls—and their hearts—completely collapse.
