Her life was a fairytale lie until Princess Eliza caught her fiancé in bed with her own brother. When an attempt on her life shatters her illusions, she is thrown together with the only man she can trust: her new bodyguard, Derek. He’s cold, aloof, and frustratingly professional - yet a single look from his piercing eyes is enough to make her burn. Can she truly trust the man sworn to protect her when everyone else has betrayed her?
