Cassandra Friend, maid of honor of the Friend Event Company, has seen it all. From fey snatching babies at welcomings to jilted ex-lovers storming weddings, there's little that can surprise her. But when the royal wedding hires her mercenaries to guard it from a demonic threat, she may just have gotten more than she bargained for.

After having more than her own share of jilted ex-lovers, Cass wasn't expecting to find a best man so distracting. Lord Alexander Fremont-charming, clever, and quick with a lie-has a secret. And she's so sure it has to do with the danger hovering around the throne, she's willing to stake the whole wedding on finding out what it is.

If she's wrong, she may have just ruined the best thing to ever happen to her.
