Heated Sparring, A Coronation, and a Threat Against the Crown

Princess Everlee is struggling to process the attacks on her family. After being betrayed by her guards, her security is in her own hands. She wants to take her fighting skills to the next level, and an elf with strength magic will challenge her in all kinds of ways.

Elian has plenty of time to work out since getting kicked off the tournament circuit. Training with the beautiful and talented heir to the throne gives his life direction again. She’s heard he left professional fighting with a knee injury, and he doesn’t correct her. There are some things better left unsaid.

When an old enemy gets elected to the Imperial Council, Everlee’s fears make her want to tap out. Having Elian join her guard seems like the perfect solution. Will he bring security to the Imperial Family, or will secrets from his past stab Everlee in the back?
