From the New York Times bestselling author of Suddenly Royal comes the first in a 
sparkling new series about America’s favorite royal—the First Daughter.

Everyone makes mistakes, especially in college. But when you’re the daughter of the President of the United States, any little slip up is a huge embarrassment. Maddie McGuire’s latest error in judgment lands her in police custody, giving the press a field day. Agreeing to do community service as penance and to restore her tattered reputation, Maddie never dreams incredibly good looking but extremely annoying vice president’s son, Jake Simmon, will be along for the ride.

Recently returning from Afghanistan with a life-altering injury, Jake is wrestling with his own demons. He doesn’t have the time or patience to deal with the likes of Maddie. They’re like oil and water and every time they’re together, it’s combustible. But there’s a thin line between love and hate, and it’s not long before their fiery arguments give way to infinitely sexier encounters.

When Jake receives devastating news about the last remaining member of his unit, the darkness he’s resisted for so long begins to overwhelm him. Scared to let anyone close, he pushes Maddie away. But she isn’t about to give up on Jake that easily. Maddie’s fallen for him, and she’ll do anything to keep him from the edge as they both discover that love is a battlefield and there are some fights you just can’t lose.


Wow, this book is so much more than I was expecting and I loved it! At first I thought this was going to be the typical "they like each other but don't want to show it, so they'll act nasty to each other" book, but nope that's not what we get. I mean yeah, they do like each other, but consider anything even remotely resembling romance to be off-limits. Although Maddie does empathize that Jake's mom might be using her son's injuries to help boost her career. 

Maddie and Jake are forced to work together after Maddie gets into some trouble with the law, and that's when their relationship begins to change from slightly antagonistic to something...more. The tone of the story changed once Jake got the news about the only other member of his unit, and we get to see Jake's downward spiral, and although he pushes Maddie away, she refuses to go. This got me right in the feels while we witnessed Jake's PTSD, because as a veteran myself and being the spouse of a veteran, both my husband and I have dealt with (and still deal with) PTSD.
