He'll give her exactly what she needs...
Protecting a princess is not what former marine Gordon Waybrook signed up for when he joined the Shillings Agency. But instead of the spoiled, regal little creature he expects, Isabelle VanGuard is a fiery, sexy-as-hell woman who’s been denied what she needs for too long. And he’s just the man to break through her frozen public facade and give it to her.
When she’s with Gordon, all Isabelle can think about is pleasure. Their blistering chemistry is immediate and intense, but volatile. In fact, the only thing they agree on is that their one night together is just that—one night. Even after it becomes more. But tempers and temptation can’t disguise reality. Isabelle is a princess, and a hot, hard, tattooed bodyguard isn’t the Prince Charming her country expects...even if he’s exactly what she needs.
Each book in the Shillings Agency series is a stand-alone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order.

"Everything just worked; the chemistry, the fight, the fun and the emotion, and whilst it held no huge surprises, it was a hot, romantic journey with slight air of one of my all-time favourite films, Coming to America. Seducing the Princess seduced this commoner." --Nicola, Goodreads
"...let me just say Gordon not only seduces the Princess but will definitely have readers begging him for more. Trust me, you might find yourself saying “Please, Gordon” after reading this book. ;)" --Michelle, Goodreads
"Gordon Waybrook and Seducing the Princess are definitely in my top five favorite reads from Diane Alberts." --Read Your Writes Book Reviews
4 Talk Dirty To Me Stars
One word. One slight movement toward him, and she'd be his. He'd make her come so many times she'd forget what it felt like to be a proper princess.

The third book in the Shillings Agency series takes a step into the realms of the imaginary, with the introduction of Princess Isabelle VanGuard of Maldeva.

I make no bones that I am a bugger to please when it comes to the royalty trope, but Jen McLaughlin/Diane Alberts has done what she does best and her take on it was pretty near perfect. Everything just worked; the chemistry, the fight, the fun and the emotion, and whilst it held no huge surprises, i ...more

Seducing the Princess by Diane Alberts reminded me of a modern day version of Cinderella, The Bodyguard and Coming to America. Well in the case for Diane Alberts, she made her book a lot more sexy, hot, steamy and titillati ...more
Ever read a book where you have to choose between sleep and continuing to read?
I choose to finish the book. It was a quick hot read. I liked the characters a lot. Did they fall in love quickly? Yes. But I'm a hopeless romantic so that doesn't bother me. Gordon was a dirty talking hottie, of course I ...more
This steamy romance, third in the Shillings Agency series but easily read as a standalone, is the story of Gordon and Isabelle. When Gordon is assigned to guard the haughty princess Isabelle, he sees beyond the facade to the woman underneath, one who is willing to take a chance with him for a night ...more

“Ask me nicely.” Never have three words made me so hot. When you read this book you will understand why.
Diane Alberts has given us another fantastic book in the Shillings Agency series. After the last book I was hoping for a story for Gordon and we got it and boy what a book. I loved this book. From ...more

I dived into Seducing the Princess not knowing what to expect. Is it a modern day fairytale?
I enjoyed the book for what it is; a piece of escapism. It's an entertaining story that takes you away from the realities of real life for a few hours.
I'm immediately drawn to the very likable Gordon Waybroo ...more
This book has everything that makes Brazen romances great. A strong, caring, and supportive leading man; a self assured, powerful, and passionate leading lady, and sexy, sexy, sexy, sex.

Yup Gordon is a good character. He made an appearance in the previous book and I looked forward to his story. I like how he was immediately attracted to Isabelle and she was immediately attracted to him. When we were in her POV I actually felt really bad for her. I can’t imagine not be ...more

THIS. BOOK. IS. THE. BOMB. DOT. COM.
Out of all the Shilling Agencies books, this is my absolute favorite. FOR REAL.

She was a princess, and he'd never be good enough for a woman like her.
She'd expect castles, horses, world tours, and jewels.
Not cape cods, dogs, Maine, and nightmares.
I liked this one a lot more than I thought I would. Isabelle and Gordon were really good characters, and while the plot was a quasi cheesy fairytale premise, it really worked.
I will be on the lookout to read others in this series. ...more

SEDUCING THE PRINCESS by Diane Alberts is the third wonderful story in her Shillings Agency series and can be read as a stand-alone book.
