The Mated Queens Series, Book 3
By N. Slater
A soldier didn't expect to find love with a princess who is off limits.
Most women my age are preparing for marriage while I’m still enjoying the freedoms that come with donning my armor and promising to protect my home country, Kusovania.
Days before the yearly gala that brings nobles and royalty from neighboring countries, my brothers and I are sent to retrieve a runaway princess. I’m assuming this will be just a routine journey but don’t expect the little piece of sunshine that is Princess Juliette of Smunia.
Too fast and too soon, I find myself smitten with Juliette, a woman I can’t have and shouldn’t touch.
After all, her father has promised her hand to the highest bidder and I have nothing more to give than my sword.
But her choice is worth more to me than archaic rules and traditions so I’ll fight for her hand regardless of the consequences.
Will it be enough, though, to call her mine?
Hands Off is the third standalone novella in the Mated Queens series following a soldier, the princess she fell in love with at first sight, and her fight to make sure that Juliette has a choice. CW in the Author’s Note.
