She's my bodyguard. My fake wife. And the one woman I can't resist.

Being a professional hockey player isn't easy. But in my case, it's even harder. Most people know me as a forward for the Florida Sun Kings. But I've got a secret that's about to jeopardize my entire career: I'm royalty. Not super-important royalty. My cousin is only a baronet. But his yacht just went missing with him aboard.



Now my sister is assuming the title, and my family wants me to come home, because I'm the new heir apparent. The only way they'll let me keep playing in the States? If I agree to a bodyguard.

Fine. But on one condition: she has to be a woman. That way, I can pretend she's my new wife and keep my secret from the team. It’s the perfect plan—until I meet her.

She's gorgeous. Sharp. Completely unimpressed by me. And she executes our cover story so well that I forget it’s all an act.

Except for her, it is. She's determined to keep things professional. But I’ve never wanted anything—or anyone—more.

Can I keep two secrets? Can I change her mind? Or will I lose everything in the ultimate power play?
