Taming a King - Paperback

by Rita a. Gordon (Author)

She was born to rule his heart. He was sworn to protect hers.

In a world where fairy tales are nothing but broken promises, June Ross has learned to trust no one but herself. Scarred by a traumatic childhood event, she's built her life on the ironclad belief that love is a dangerous illusion and guards her heart with walls so high that even she can't see over them. But when a deadly threat from the past resurfaces, she finds herself under the protection of Aedan King, a hardened bodyguard with his own battle-worn past. Trained to take a bullet without flinching, Aedan never expected to be blindsided by the one mission he can't walk away from: breaking through June's defenses and convincing her that true love isn't a fairy tale-it's the most perilous adventure of all. With danger closing in, June must decide whether she's willing to trust someone else to protect her for the first time in her life, or if she'll let fear keep her from the only man willing to risk everything-even his life-for her.

"Taming a King" is a standalone, contemporary romance.
