"This princess's new bodyguard is the ultimate tsundere. What to do?!" 

Didn't he say I am annoying? Why is he looking at me with heart eyes? 

He said he will never be into me... What's with the fleeting touches then? 

Wait, what?! Did he just ask for a kiss with that professional face on? 

Alas, was my one-sided attraction wasn't that one sided after all? 

...

As the princess of Monteluna, all Amara wants is to live an idle life. She even negotiates her chance to study abroad, away from the royal family. But two years in, life throws a curveball when the King declares: 

"From now on, you will have a new personal bodyguard!" 

Rafael Varder. A brooding, mysterious man with piercing green eyes. From their first encounter, he saves her. By the second, they talk and he vanishes after making her heart flutter. The third time they meet, there’s a twist: Rafael isn’t just some handsome stranger she could crush on at will—he’s her new personal bodyguard aka her shackle. 

Feeling blindsided, Amara decides to take control by laying down the ground rules: no unnecessary meddling, no constant hovering, and definitely no controlling her life. 

But Rafael? He breaks every single one of her rules while shoving his unbearably gorgeous face in her sight 24X7. The lines get blurred as the princess and her bodyguard entangle in a game of love, hate & desires. 

But when Amara realizes that Rafael comes with secrets that will destroy any possibility of them, would she still give in to the temptation? Will Rafael be able to protect her—not just from danger, but from the demons of his own identity?

The Princess's Secret Bodyguard

The tall figure who entered moved with an effortless, commanding presence that sent a ripple of tension through the room. His dark hair, tousled yet perfectly in place, caught the afternoon light.

He was dressed in a fitted black suit that accented his powerful frame, looking no less than a prince.

His sharp, emerald eyes scanned the room quickly before settling on her. For a moment, the world seemed to narrow to just that one look.

But that one look lasted for a very brief moment. Even before Amara could register it, he had looked away from her as if he did not recognize her at all.

Amara's heart gave a dull 'thud' and a sense of uneasiness washed over her.

''He is your new bodyguard. Rafael Varden.'' King Callahan spoke, sounding nothing short of satisfied with this arrangement.
