Crimson empire

"Sheila, head maid and bodyguard to Prince Edvard, lives a dual life of serving at regal parties while staving off assassination attempts. The biggest threat to Edvard's life is Prince Justin, his older brother and second in line for the throne-- but Sheila's strained relationship with the older prince has changed ever since he actually helped her protect Edvard from an external enemy. Sheila remains on guard around the brooding Justin, but the distance between them shortens each day. There's just something about Justin's dark past that draws Sheila in."--P. [4] of cover.
