The King’s Bodyguard by Sage Sutton

An arranged marriage, an attempted assassination, and a distractingly handsome bodyguard… Just another day in the life of a king!

After surprising everyone and surviving a civil war, King Landis faces the difficult challenge of maintaining control of Sumarene’s throne. Is he’s really ready for marriage or kingship? Then, an old childhood friend walks back into his life–the handsome Ser Corrin Stonewarden. And Corrin’s his new bodyguard!
When Corrin literally bumps into Landis, he’s instantly drawn to the young king. Protective instincts aroused, he is ready to lay his life on the line for his old friend… and mate? Gods forbid! Sumarene would revolt if the King threw his upcoming marriage away for a lowly warrior.

But can a nation come between two hearts drawn to each other?
