This Damsel Is Not in Distress
★ 4.2
A magical castle.
The woman who's to become queen.
And her growing feelings for the bodyguard that might just ruin it all.
When Niamh Merridon flees her war-torn kingdom, she doesn't expect to stumble upon a tower that provides the protection she's always wanted . . .
Until some idiot arrives to "rescue" her and somehow gets her locked out. Now she's stuck with Rafe "the Wolfe" Wolfgang, a grumpy guard who's wholly unsusceptible to her charms. Worse, he claims she's to marry his prince because of some prophecy.
Niamh isn't keen on the idea, especially when she arrives at a sentient castle and discovers she can't become queen until the castle presents her with a key. How does she get this key? No one seems to know.
Niamh quickly realizes this might give her the safety she seeks . . . if she can survive the disappearing doors, shifting rooms, and mysterious secrets, secrets more dangerous than her own. Yet the hardest part of it all might be resisting the broody guard who makes her feel brave. If she can't avoid the temptation, it won't just be her heart on the line, but her life.
This Damsel Is Not in Distress is a standalone cozy, spicy romantasy with a grumpy/sunshine forbidden romance, a mischievous castle, and a know-it-all magical bookwyrm.
