Next to her beauty, I’m nothing but a beast. That doesn’t change my job. The best friend of the future queen of Garronia may be a pain-in-the-ass celebutante, but she’s got a ruthless billionaire on her perfectly-formed tail, and nowhere else to run. If the bastard wants her, though, he’ll have to get through me. But little by little I realize things aren’t what they seem. Is this haughty, foolhardy American blonde hiding real terror behind her icily perfect façade? The more I learn, the more protecting her becomes my only goal. I’ll tease her—tempt her—do whatever it takes to keep her safely by my side. I just can’t fall in love with her.
