The ink on her diploma is barely dry, but Princess Victoria of Sereno is ready to tackle her first project as CEO of the new family business venture, The Royal Sands Resort. Only a month remains until their distinguished guests arrive for her sister Cassie's coronation, and Victoria has her work cut out for her. Busy with preparations, she assumes that all eyes are on her sister. It's an assumption that nearly kills her . . .
CIA operative Alan Neisler and his canine partner have been tasked with protecting the royal family of Sereno in the days leading up to the coronation. The job seems straightforward—until he finds himself diffusing a bomb the first day he's on duty. When a second device is found at the family's beach resort, Alan's prime objective shifts to protecting Princess Victoria. As Victoria learns to trust Alan with her safety, sparks fly with the man who saves her life. Twice. But if they have any hope of making plans for a happily ever after, Alan and Victoria must outwit a deadly adversary who will stop at nothing to destroy the monarchy.
