The Reluctant Wife: A Bodyguard - Princess Marriage of Convenience Romance (The Davenports Book 4)

Marrying your brooding, infuriatingly overprotective bodyguard was never part of the plan—but for a princess navigating a political minefield, desperate times call for inconvenient husbands.

She's a princess who refuses to be managed. He's a former Marine turned billionaire security expert who manages everything. When a dangerous political threat forces them into a marriage of convenience, Ryot Davenport makes one thing perfectly clear: this arrangement is strictly professional. No feelings. No complications. No exceptions.

She has other ideas.

Behind the palace walls and perfectly staged public appearances, their carefully constructed facade crackles with tension neither of them asked for. Ryot is all hard edges and controlled silence—a man who built his walls long before she arrived and has no intention of letting her dismantle them. But she didn't survive royal life by backing down from a challenge, and Ryot Davenport is the most fascinating challenge she's ever faced.

The rules are simple: keep up appearances, stay safe, don't fall. The problem is that every stolen glance across a crowded room and every moment his protective instincts blur into something deeper make the rules feel increasingly impossible to follow. This contemporary romance delivers sharp wit, simmering chemistry, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension that will keep you turning pages long past midnight.

When the political threat escalates and the lines between fake and real dissolve completely, they'll have to decide what they're actually willing to risk—and for whom.
