Is true love like lightning, or can it strike twice?

Sam only took this job as a favor to one of his best friends, Edward, who also happens to be king. Despite the recent notoriety he gained on a dangerous mission, he doesn't make friends with women--he doesn't even make eye contact if he can help it. Being assigned with Macias, the most intimidating woman he's ever met, poses a small problem. Falling in love with her poses a huge problem.

Tezza Macias, the Grand Duchess's night security, is too tough to admit that the disappearance of her husband is breaking her. Guaranteeing Abbie's safety matters more than anything to her, but as depression creeps in, she's losing her connection with the magic that makes her excel at her job. Her new partner isn't making things easier with his probing, personal questions about things she'd rather not talk about... even if his brand of handsome shyness is pushing all her buttons.

When a curious projection stalks the castle halls, can they work together to discover its source... and the threat it may pose?
