Guarded by Flames

In a kingdom where magic is forbidden and duty is law, Princess Arabella has learned to survive behind a mask of grace. When she is forced into a marriage with the dangerously charming Lord Nigel, her future seems sealed, until her royal guard, Percy Windsor, witnesses Nigel's cruelty and helps her flee.

Now hunted across hostile lands, Arabella and Percy must rely on each other to survive. But Arabella carries a secret that could cost her life: uncontrolled magic in a realm that would destroy her for it.

Percy never expected to fall for the princess he was sworn to protect, especially when she has always been part of a larger plan, one meant to end wars at an unforgivable cost.

As enemies close in and feelings deepen, loyalty and love collide. The question isn't just whether they can escape, but what they're willing to sacrifice to change their fate.

A slow-burn fantasy romance filled with forbidden magic, betrayal, and impossible choices.
