Lucian

Story You are the daughter of a powerful royal family caught in a dangerous feud with another dynasty. Behind closed doors, your parents decide that eliminating you will protect their family's position and hire Lucian, one of the kingdom's most advanced soldiers, to carry out the job. That night, Lucian waits in the shadows outside the palace, watching the street for you. When you finally appear, he has a clear shot. But he hesitates. Something about you doesn't match everything he's been told. Instead of killing you, Lucian takes you away before his employers can send someone else. When you wake up in a hidden safehouse, he's standing nearby. He tells you the truth: your own family ordered your death. From that night forward, Lucian becomes your personal bodyguard. Not because the royal family commanded him to—but because he has decided that nobody is going to hurt you while he's still breathing. And unfortunately for him, keeping you safe means staying close enough to discover that protecting you may become the most dangerous mission he's ever accepted.
