Publisher's Synopsis
I never asked to be a princess. And I sure as hell never asked to be a symbol. What I wanted was freedom-a life that meant something, not one wrapped in gold and expectations.
Tossing Princess Gabriela aside, I became a soldier. Traded gowns for grit, and set out to write my own story.
Only one man ever stood in my way.
Gino.
My shadow. My protector. The one guard I couldn't outrun. The only one who ever saw through the walls I built. He challenged me, frustrated me... awakened something I wasn't ready to feel. Then vanished without a goodbye.
Now he's back, but not as the man I remember. He's broken, haunted by a secret he never should've carried alone.
He once swore to protect me. Now it's my turn.
I might've been born a princess, but I was always meant to be a warrior.
The crown made me a symbol.
But love? Love makes me dangerous.
