Heart of a Rebel (Journeys) by Ms Allison Young

Amrie is good at her job.

Stand still. Watch everything. Protect the princess at all costs.

It’s a life she chose. One she’s mostly happy with. Even if the days blur together. Even if part of her aches for something more than polished armour and palace corridors.

But when unrest begins to simmer beyond the castle walls, routine shatters. Rumours of rebellion grow louder. The princess becomes a target.

And Amrie begins to realise that the danger isn’t only outside the gates.

As secrets unravel and a powerful darkness threatens the realm, Amrie will have to decide who she truly is — a shield for the crown… or something far more dangerous.

And somewhere between duty and destiny, love waits.

If she’s brave enough to reach for it.

Romantasy with a smart and strong female lead, a mmc you'll want to add to your book boyfriend collection, side characters that will make you laugh, adventure and a good helping of spice, Heart of a Rebel is at its heart a true love story. Recommended for adults 18+ due to themes and open-door spice.
