A princess bound by protocol and the bodyguard assigned to keep her safe form the centre of Ana Huang's Twisted Games, a contemporary romance built on duty, restraint and an attraction that refuses to stay professional.
The novel follows Bridget von Ascheberg, whose public life is governed by royal expectation, and Reed Stafford, whose job is her protection. Huang builds the relationship through constant proximity and slow-burning tension, then raises the stakes as outside threats close in. It belongs to the wider Twisted series, though the romance carries its own arc from first page to last.
What you'll find in these pages:
• A royal-protection setup that keeps the two leads together while duty keeps them apart
• Alternating emotional beats between palace obligation and private feeling
• Suspense threads that tighten the second half without overtaking the romance
• A Hachette edition carrying the series branding readers recognise
Suited to readers of contemporary and forbidden-love romance who want character-driven heat, published by Hachette and available at Boipoka.
