Daniil

My reputation as Europe's most charming playboy suits me perfectly. As a prince, a member of Parliament, and a Royal Protector, my life is a constant balance between danger and duty.Relationships have no place in my world. Until Courtney.I wanted the fiery, red-haired beauty from the first moment I laid eyes on her. My sister-in-law's military helicopter pilot friend is like no one I've ever met.It only took one touch to know, once wouldn't be enough. Then she disappeared without a word--twice.Now she's gone—completely off the grid—and no one has heard from her in months.I'm called in to find her, but it takes no persuading. Because this hunt... it's personal.And I'm in no way prepared for the secrets she's been keeping.She doesn't just dislike me—she despises everything I stand for. Everything I am.But it doesn't matter because I'm not a man who backs down.Especially when the stakes are this high.
