A ROYAL WEDDING—AND A SHOCKING CRIME
After rescuing jewelry designer Ruby Tate from an attacker, Lydian royal guard Galen Harris suspects the crime wasn’t a random incident. Jewelry thieves have set their sights on Lydia’s royal family, and they won’t let anyone stand in their way—including Ruby, who’s in town to help the princess with her wedding jewels. The closer Ruby and Galen get to uncovering the mystery, the harder it is to deny their feelings. But with a deadly gang of criminals after them, will they live to see their own happily ever after?
Protecting the Crown: The royal guardsmen serve their country with honor and integrity
“How do you know he followed you?”
“I heard footsteps.” Ruby’s voice broke.
Jade-green eyes blinked at him with fear in their depths.
Galen felt his heart twist. Part of him had been eager to see Ruby ever since he’d heard she’d stepped in to fill the role of Anastasia’s assistant, as the talented princess designed all the jewelry for the upcoming royal weddings. An equal part of him had been wary of a potentially awkward reunion. But awkwardness had become the least of his concerns.
“Are you okay?” He spotted the red marks along her neck where the strap of her bag had cut against her. “Did he hurt you?”
“I’m fine, I think.” She touched her neck. “Just sore.”
He ignored the way he felt sitting close to her and focused on the attack.
He had things to do—such as reporting the incident to royal guard headquarters and making sure Ruby really was all right.
And figuring out who her attacker was, and what he was after. And then, making sure the man never hurt Ruby again.
RACHELLE McCALLA
is a mild-mannered housewife, and the toughest she ever has to get is when she’s trying to keep her four kids quiet in church. Though she often gets in over her head, as her characters do, and has to find a way out, her adventures have more to do with sorting out the carpool and providing food for the potluck. She’s never been arrested, gotten in a fistfight or been shot at. And she’d like to keep it that way!

Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one
and calls forth each of them by name.

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy,
and where thieves break in and steal.
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Ruby Tate looked over her shoulder at the sound of footsteps behind her.
A hulking figure, more shadow than man, slipped behind the nearest building.
Ruby blinked. Was someone there, or were her eyes playing tricks on her in the dimness of dusk? Unsure of how to react, Ruby walked faster. At the end of the block she turned the corner. The road bent uphill toward the Lydian royal palace. She would
