Meet the cowboy royal who will never be tamed—and the best friend sworn to protect him.
Kris Jaroka didn’t sign up for this. He and his triplet brothers were uprooted from their ranch to inherit the throne of Kiraly. His duties keep escalating, and no amount of shirking his guards can stop the gut-ache of leaving his best friend, Frankie, behind.
But his biggest challenge lies ahead.
For years, Frankie Cowan has secretly monitored the safety of Kris and his brothers. When Kris’s recklessness forces her to reveal herself as the head of palace security, her duty to protect him and his refusal to be tamed meet head on.
Bound together, their lies and hurt soon surrender to their chemistry, and Kris burns to offer her his future. But Frankie’s past isn’t fit for a cowboy, let alone a prince—proving that the person she most needs to protect him from is herself.

Ash spins a fanciful tale of love and palace intrigue in her second Cowboy Princes romance (following Her Cowboy King). When the royal family of the fictional European country of Kiraly die in a mysterious accident, cowboy triplets Mark, Kris, and Tommy are recalled from their Montana ranch to fulfill their royal duties, as Kris is next in line for the throne. At their side is Frankie Cowan, their friend and Montana neighbor, who, it turns out, has secretly been leading their security detail. As the brothers reluctantly settle into royal life, Kris must reconcile his long simmering desire for Frankie with her new role in his life. Meanwhile Frankie searches for the villain responsible for the prior king’s death—and the culprit may be closer to her and the brothers than anyone suspects. Ash’s playfully far-fetched story line requires readers to suspend a good deal of disbelief, but the multilayered heroine and trio of close-knit brothers are sure to charm their way into the hearts of all who succeed. Plenty of steamy encounters between Kris and Frankie add to the appeal. While the story ends in happily-ever-after, Ash leaves a few threads dangling for future installments. Fans of royal romances should snap this up. (Self-published)
