Protected by his royal vow. Trapped by desire!

Prince Valenti Domene has played protector all his life. First to his brother, heir to the Cartana throne, now as a billion-dollar security consultant. But when it comes to his headstrong ward, Lotte Lillegrad, his protective instincts take on a provocative edge. The most honourable solution is keeping watch from afar...

Yet after Lotte’s life is threatened, Valenti must whisk her to his Icelandic hideaway out of harm’s way. And, while snowbound, keeping his forbidden cravings under control is hard enough...without an emboldened Lotte disclosing her own intoxicating attraction — to him!
