Apollo
About this ebook
Owen Metcalfe thought his military career was over—two failed attempts at becoming an elite operator leave him questioning everything he believes about himself. When a desperate mercenary seeks help to rescue his daughter—a kidnapped princess—from the most dangerous royal family in the world, Owen discovers his true calling isn't about earning a beret or proving his worth to the Army.
It's about saving her.
Leighton Kingslake has spent her entire life guarding a deadly secret far from the Saudi princess who gave birth to her and the brutal king they fled. She’s lived in the shadows, knowing one wrong move could end not just her life, but her mother's as well. When she's violently torn from her safe world and imprisoned halfway around the globe, survival becomes her only goal.
Until a blue-eyed warrior crashes into her world and threatens everything.
This isn't just a rescue mission—it's a collision of two hearts that will either save them both or destroy them completely.
When Owen infiltrates the palace as Leighton's bodyguard sparks fly! She doesn’t want him ruining her plan, and he holds fast to his promise to bring her safely home. But with a vengeful king, murderous princes, and a deadly enemy closing in, they’re forced to set differences aside. Soon, begrudging respect breeds something far more powerful that becomes both their greatest strength and their most dangerous weakness.
