Protecting the Prince

By Shannon Nemechek

From USA Today Bestselling Author Shannon Nemechek comes a new spin on an old tale. A Fairy tale retelling of Cinderella.

When Ella Jameson, a CIA officer, is sent to protect the world's newest Playboy Prince, Prince Thomas Henry Phillips, from a series of assassination threats, she enters a world far different from the shadows she is used to. As the glittering facade of monarchy collides with the gritty realities of undercover work, Ella finds herself drawn to the prince she must protect—a man whose secrets may be as lethal as the perils they confront together.
