To her it seems a just end to her life when her career in security has seen her send others who challenged the king to their deaths. Elsenna Hazen once worked as a bodyguard for the tyrant’s daughter and now feeds information to the revolutionaries knowing that, eventually, she will be caught, tortured and executed. In a country ruled by a tyrannical king, it’s clear that the revolutionaries are slowly starting to gain the upper hand. When it comes to romance in fiction, The Princess and the Bodyguard is one of my favourite tropes, so when I spotted this sci-fi f/f romance novella on NetGalley, which just so happened to include this trope, I had to have it. I received an eARC of Glorious Day from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When rebel attacks escalate and the king plans retaliation, Elsenna discovers that the fights for her love and her life are one and the same. Now Elsenna wakes up each day wondering what will happen first: her own execution, or that of the woman she could never stop loving. Her Highness has no idea Elsenna is leaking data to the revolutionaries bent on overthrowing the princess’s oppressive father. With uprisings in the streets, the nervous princess transfers Elsenna back into her service. It’s been two years since one ill-advised kiss in the garden pulled them apart.

She should have known better than to fall in love with a princess. And the revolution is almost here.Įlsenna Hazen left spaceport security and ended up a royal bodyguard.
