Princess Mandy and Her Watchman

As the only child of the governor, Princess Mandy is to either choose the charming but overbearing Prince or the filthy rich but deceiving other Prince. She always dreams of a fulfilling life beyond the governor's mansion, a life free from the confines of an arranged marriage. That is, until the Former First Sergeant Saint came into her life-a stoic and devoted bodyguard with a secret and dark past. The line of his profession has never been crossed before. In desperation and with the unwillingness to choose, Mandy hatches a daring escape plan. It is Saint who takes his leap of faith for her. Flying away from the life she built, fate has another plan for her. She is then captured by a group of ruthless mercenaries of the secret society. Mandy's future grows darker by the minute. In an attempt to protect the princess, Max declares her his wife. He is a man on a mission, training relentlessly for a job that could secure the future for each of them. With each passing day, their fake marriage grows more complex, their connection goes deeper, and the line between duty and desire becomes increasingly blurred. A fake marriage may just lead to an entanglement neither of them saw coming-a love worth fighting for. Can they sail their way out and build a future together, or will the secrets they harbour tear them apart forever? ABOUT THIS BOOK: This book can be read as a standalone.
