Loyalty, dignity, strength. All things one expects when trapped in this life? but love, I let that dream fade. I've accepted it. The drive to take the road less traveled motivates me to do what other princesses couldn't. It's a new dawn. And I'm changing the rules to fit my game. I don't intend on sitting pretty, keeping my mouth shut when I have something to say just to keep those watching me happy. My duty to this beloved country will be to serve them as a soldier, ready to defend and protect its people to the best of my ability.The man hell-bent on thwarting my every move, determined to keep me safe, will soon learn a hard lesson. He can take his handsome growly self and go protect someone else. I've got this. I refuse to let him knock me off course. Not even after he's awakening something in me I thought impossible. Why now? Why, when my life is going as I planned, does he storm in and take over my every thought, my senses, all while igniting my desire? I was born a princess, but I possess the heart of a warrior, one who's fearless.But what if I'm not the one who needs protection? What if I was born to rescue him?
