Protecting Piper

**The fifth book in the Rowdy R Ranch Adventures**

Princess Piper Degradeces is the seventh daughter, twelfth and final child of the King of Brahnini, a small country thousands of miles and laws away from the US. With her title comes the responsibilities of being The Princess, responsibilities she doesn't want. Like being bonded to a man that was picked by her father on her twenty-first birthday. Like being treated as if she was a spoiled rich girl when she wasn't, but never given the chance to prove otherwise. Like staying one step ahead of a man that wants her life. Her father gives her one year to find love in America however his restrictions on her movements suggest he is just stringing her on till the day she is to return to her intended. What will happen when she falls for the big bad guard that is the first person to treat her like a person in her entire life? Will she be allowed to break tradition and marry the man she loves or will she be forced to marry her sister’s husband making her his fifth wife? That is, if she lives that long.

When Kai calls ranting about 'Princess Pouty', Beckett Bennett begrudgingly takes over her watch as not to be forced into firing another man from his California security company because of her unfounded accusations. He arrives with every expectation of meeting a spoiled little rich girl, however to his shock and amazement he finds the Princess is delightful, funny and extremely shy. After rescuing her from a party, listening to her rant in her drugged state, then watching her sleep it off, he doesn't envy the Princess and her controlled upbringing. Feeling sorry for the fact she has been in the States for nine months and has seen nothing but a college campus and apartment walls of three different states he finds himself wanting to help her out and arranges a day on the town. He didn't expect to be chewed up and spit out by the love bug in the process. When her State changes for her final three months in a new place, Houston, Texas, he does his duty and leaves her with the new guards. But when she calls begging for help in Morse code of all things, he finds himself and all the boys from the ranch running to her rescue. Will they be able to reach her in time?
