Royal Lockdown

the long version

The eerie text message was only part of a night to remember for security ace Shane Peters. One minute he was dancing with Princess Ariana LeBron, holding her in his arms at a gala attended by world leaders, the next he was fighting for their lives when the lights went out and gunmen held them hostage. Their demands were simple: Give them the princess.For Ariana, duty and honor were everything. Until she met Shane. Minutes in the brash American's arms made her feel like a woman for the first time. But could the man who'd safeguarded priceless antiquities save her from the gunmen? With the lights low and the summer heat rising, he'd surely give the princess a night to remember.
