Chapter 1

Princess Braelynn Cochran of Thanes is the next in line for the throne. Begrudgingly affianced and overwhelmed by her princess duties, she brings a spunky and realistic side to the circle of royals. But not everything is well in Thanes. The kingdom is threatened by Valiants, rebel forces determined to overthrow the crown.
When Braelynn is personally attacked by Valiant troops, she is assigned to Maddon , a castle guard hired specifically to follow her every move. Already feeling trapped, Braelynn and Maddon clash. But will the feelings of hatred last?
