Torn between duty and desire, can love survive?or is the cost too high? Jaden As captain of the Queen's Elite Guard, the lives of my people depend on me. The new monarch's reign is off to a rocky start, though, and my personal life isn't much better. Then Dr. Aimee Sebastien dances into my life at my brother's wedding. The sharp, stubborn school principal isn't impressed by my title or reputation?or me. And I can't get her out of my head. I don't do relationships after my last one nearly cost me everything. But when Aimee says she isn't going to fall for me? Challenge accepted. I always get what I want, and I want that curvy little spitfire to be mine.

Aimee Falling for the Captain of the Queen's Elite Guard was never in my plans. Jaden Everly is cocky, inflexible, and exactly the kind of man I've sworn off. I don't have time for distractions with a school to run and students and staff to protect. Yet, beneath his commanding presence, there's a vulnerability that's hard to resist. Jaden is more than I expected, with a heart as big as his ego, and I'm finding it impossible to keep my distance. But when a haunting mistake from my past resurfaces, I'm forced to face it head-on. Can I trust Jaden to stand by me when it matters most?

In the Queen's Service continues the Crown & Heart series, where duty, loyalty, and love collide in the royal world of Lytua.
