Book Description

As an unseen enemy draws near, a royal bodyguard must choose between duty and love.

Risking his life to save a princess is all in a day’s work for Sergeant Joe Wenlock, a Close Protection Officer detailed to protect the royal family. After months of recovery following his brush with death, Joe’s ready to return to duties. But Alejandro Fuente-Sastre, as infuriating as he is fabulous, is the last royal Joe wants to be assigned to.

Alejandro isn’t quite the sort of queen that the British royal family is used to, but when Joe learns that Her Majesty’s step-grandson is also drag bombshell Paloma Picante, it makes his job a whole lot tougher. But is there more to Alejo than sulking and sequins?

When Alejandro’s life is threatened by an unseen tormentor who progresses from internet trolling to arson and violence, Joe must keep his charge safe from harm.

Living in close quarters with the man he shouldn’t be falling for, Joe begins to discover his true self. But as Alejandro’s enemy prowls ever nearer, Joe must make the impossible choice between duty and love.

Reader advisory: This book contains instances of homophobia and homophobic language, cyberbullying and threats, harassment, terrorism, drug use and abuse, Islamophobia and suicide. There are mentions of domestic abuse, including physical, emotional and gaslighting.

It took Joe a moment to process what exactly was happening. He was being kissed, in the street, by a drag queen. He should stop, he should lean away, but the kiss was so sweet, so unexpected, that he couldn’t retreat. He responded, touching his fingertips to Paloma’s jaw, and parted his lips under hers. Her answering sigh was as soft as her touch and she snuggled a little closer, her palm resting on Joe’s thigh. Had he and Wendy ever kissed like this? Maybe, once upon a time. Possibly not.
Sergeant Wenlock, you’ll bring the force into disrepute!
Joe didn’t care. He hadn’t felt like this for so long. He slipped his arm around Paloma and held her tight. At that moment, Joe heard fireworks, and he had no idea if someone was letting them off a week early for Guy Fawkes’ Night or if the fireworks were going off inside him.

Eleanor Harkstead likes to dash about in nineteenth-century costume, in bonnet or cravat as the mood takes her. She can occasionally be found wandering old graveyards. Eleanor is very fond of chocolate, wine, tweed waistcoats and nice pens. Her large collection of vintage hats would rival Hedda Hopper’s.

Originally from the south-east of England, Eleanor now lives somewhere in the Midlands with a large ginger cat who resembles a Viking.
