  As an unseen enemy draws near, a royal bodyguard must choose between duty and love.
  Risking his life to save a princess is all in a day's work for Sergeant Joe Wenlock, a Close Protection Officer detailed to protect the royal family. After months of recovery following his brush with death, Joe's ready to return to duties. But Alejandro Fuente-Sastre, as infuriating as he is fabulous, is the last royal Joe wants to be assigned to.
  Alejandro isn't quite the sort of the queen that the British royal family is used to, but when Joe learns that Her Majesty's step-grandson is also drag bombshell Palomo Picante, it makes his job a whole lot tougher. But is there more to Alejo than sulking and sequins?
  When Alejando's life is threatened by an unseen tormentor who progresses from internet trolling to arson and violence, Joe must keep his charge safe from harm.
  Living in close quarters with the man he shouldn't be falling for, Joe begins to discover his true self. But as Alejandro's enemy prowls ever nearer, Joe must make the impossible choice between duty and love.
