The story
What it's about
When a violent coup erupts back home, Princess Catherine Blew De Laina becomes an assassination target while visiting Thailand. Her survival falls entirely on Lieutenant 'Lom' Vayo Watinwanich, a sharp female marine police officer assigned as her underground protector. Forced off the grid, the two women must navigate relentless tactical hits and political betrayal. As duty and survival blur, their isolation sparks an intense, undeniable magnetic attraction—a forbidden love defying rigid military protocol and royal expectations. Amidst constant gunfire, Blew finds safety in Lom's embrace, while Lom discovers a kindred spirit beneath the royal exterior. In a world where everyone has a price, their fierce devotion becomes both their ultimate liability and their only way out. Together, they must dismantle the conspiracy before the assassins close in.
