What happens when the royal “spare” falls for the undercover agent pretending to be his bodyguard? Nicholas I’m the spare, the younger brother of the Prince of Wales. Ever since I was propelled up the order of succession, it feels like a microscope has been applied to every aspect of my life. After a recent security scandal, I’ve been assigned a new bodyguard. A hulking, brooding guy who won’t take his eyes off me. He’s the first person I’ve met who is completely immune to my charm. When I’m sent on a royal tour of Australia and New Zealand, it should be a standard visit to friendly Commonwealth countries—a chance to escape the British winter and bask in some Southern Hemisphere sunshine. It would be enjoyable…if only someone wasn’t trying to kill me. Eoin I’ve clawed my way from the slums of Ireland to become one of Scotland Yard’s top undercover agents. But a deep security breach within the force I love leads to an unexpected playing pretend bodyguard to a privileged prince on a tour Down Under. Something about Nicholas gets under my skin, affecting me in ways no one ever has. Still, I’m a professional. I can handle this. But as we navigate koala cuddling sessions, didgeridoo lessons, and deadly spiders in hotel rooms, I see beneath Nicholas’s princely façade. I’m supposed to uncover who’s behind the threat to our nation, not fall for the man I’m protecting. The line between duty and desire blurs with each passing day and the danger to Nicholas intensifies. How can I maintain my cover, protect Nicholas, and resist the growing attraction between us? The Unlikely Spare is a royal rom-com featuring a party prince learning his place in the world, an undercover bodyguard with a chip on his shoulder, and a love that could topple an empire...or save it.
