Regally Binding: An enemies to lovers bodyguard romance (Closest Protection Duet Book 1)

One day you're pulling pints behind a bar, and the next, a dying king is announcing to the world that you might be his granddaughter—and your new bodyguard is the most infuriating man you've ever met.

Liss has spent her whole life craving a real family, so when the truth about her grandmother's royal affair surfaces, the possibility of belonging to something bigger feels like everything she's ever wanted. What she doesn't want is Bear—her broad-shouldered, perpetually grumpy, dangerously charming new bodyguard who seems to take personal pleasure in challenging her at every turn. He's bossy, he's relentless, and somehow he's the only person who actually makes her feel safe when her anxiety threatens to swallow her whole.

Bear knows one thing for certain: protecting Liss is his job, and letting himself feel anything more is not an option. She's forbidden, she's chaos wrapped in sunshine, and she's slowly dismantling every wall he's carefully built. When the threats against Liss escalate from unsettling to genuinely dangerous, keeping his professional distance becomes increasingly impossible.

Caught between paparazzi ambushes, lavish royal events, and a mysterious enemy with a motive she can't yet unravel, Liss has to navigate a glittering new world she never asked for—while resisting a man she absolutely cannot have.

*Regally Binding* is a sharp, steamy, slow-burn royal romance that proves the most dangerous thing about a bodyguard isn't the job—it's the feelings.
