Crown of Union and Duty. House of Blood and Roses, #0.5

The duty of any princess is to do what she's told, but when Agnes is assigned a new bodyguard, all of that goes out of the window. The last person Agnes ever expected to be employed as her sworn shield is the man she left behind when she was forced to become a vampire, but now he's not only in her life, but always there, reminding her of what they once shared. And what they can no longer have. Hector never thought he'd see Agnes again, and now fate has brought them back together, he's not sure he's going to be able to let her go, even if he knows he should.
With the King determined to find a political match for Agnes, time is ticking and the two of them have to decide what's more important to them - love or duty.-Crown of Union and Duty is a standalone connected to the House of Blood and Roses series. It is a steamy vampire romantasy featuring a forbidden second chance m/f romance, vampires, and vampire royalty.
