Meet the Renegade Royals, illegitimate sons of the Royal Princes who are finding their rightful places in society… Accomplished spy Aden St. George prefers to stay away from the frivolous ton, especially after the way his mother was used by the Prince Regent.

Sa mission ? Protéger le prince. Son envie ? Faire bien plus que ça… En tant qu’héritier du trône, Léonard a le royaume à ses pieds. Il donne des ordres, et tout le monde obéit – comme Nine, le jeune homme en charge d’assurer sa sécurité. Pourtant, dès que Léo croise le regard du brun baraqué, il a l’impression que les rôles s’inversent : c’est lui qui se sent à la merci de son garde du corps, prêt à faire n’importe quoi, même les choses les plus indécentes… et totalement inappropriées ! Cette attraction doit cesser, le prince le sait : entre son accident qui lui a fait oublier les deux dernières années et les menaces qui planent sur la Couronne, il a déjà suffisamment de problèmes ! Mais ce qu’il ne sait pas, c’est que Nine et lui ont déjà partagé une histoire mouvementée. Et que Nine, lui, n’a rien oublié… et sûrement pas comment le faire craquer. Le bodyguard obéira-t-il aux ordres de son prince… ou à ses propres désirs ? *** – Passons à l’étranglement. Il se crispe, et je place mes mains délicatement autour de son cou. Mes longs doigts s’enroulent autour de sa gorge, et je le sens déglutir doucement contre mes paumes. L’effort commence à se sentir sur sa nuque, qui est moite sous mes doigts. J’ai presque envie de la caresser, et de profiter des souvenirs que cela évoque en moi, de la sensation de sa peau douce et humidifiée par l’effort. Ses yeux ne lâchent pas les miens, et il reste planté là, à m’observer et à attendre que je passe aux explications. Je me racle la gorge bruyamment avant d’annoncer : – Si quelqu’un vous étrangle de face, levez les bras, pivotez sur le côté et donnez un coup de coude sec vers le bas. Ça lui fera lâcher prise. – Et si ce n’est pas le cas ? – Vous recommencez, mais en vous tournant, donnez un coup dans son menton, puis visez ses parties intimes avec le genou. Il s’y essaye, sans mal, plusieurs fois. Quand sa langue passe sur ses lèvres entrouvertes, j’ai une image de lui assez nette qui emplit mon esprit. Je me détourne pour aller chercher une bouteille d’eau et me laisser quelques secondes de répit. Lorsque je reviens, légèrement rafraîchi, il n’a pas bougé du tapis d’entraînement, et sa présence décuple mes sens. L’air du dojo est imprégné de son odeur, c’en est étourdissant. – Et si mon agresseur me prend par-derrière ? Je manque de trébucher sur une marche invisible. Putain. De. Merde. Je ferme les yeux et inspire. Mauvaise idée, ma tête se met à tourner quand son parfum emplit mes poumons. Je grimace imperceptiblement, et trottine sur place, cherchant à stimuler les autres muscles de mon corps et à détourner l’attention de mon cerveau. Tout doux, Bailey. – Je vais vous montrer. Je me place dans son dos, tentant en vain de garder une distance des plus raisonnables entre lui et moi. Mon bras glisse sur son épaule et j’agrippe doucement sa gorge. Il ne bronche pas. – Lorsque vous voyez le bras arriver, vous tournez directement la tête afin de protéger votre trachée. Il s’exécute. – De vos deux mains, vous prenez son avant-bras pour le forcer à lâcher. Si ce n’est pas le cas, vous frappez du plat de la main dans ses… Je me tais, et il ricane. La vibration de sa cage thoracique se répercute plus bas, et je ferme les yeux pour essayer de penser à un truc immonde. – Vous parlez beaucoup de testicules, dans ce sport. – C’est la faiblesse d’un homme. Ma voix ne sort pas normalement, et c’est un son plutôt guttural qui nous surprend tous les deux, si j’en juge par la réaction épidermique que ça provoque dans sa nuque. Il s’avance pour se libérer de ma prise et je le lâche sans aucune résistance. Il inspire avant de se retourner, le visage impassible. Pourtant, j’ai cette sensation que notre proximité vient de le troubler plus que ce qu’il voudrait me faire croire. Comme si son corps, lui, se rappelait. Le mien, en tout cas, se souvient de tout. Beaucoup trop bien. *** Royal Bodyguard d'Aimée Lou, premiers chapitres du roman.

This is the story of the real bodyguard, Lee Sansum, ex-Royal Military Policeman, martial arts champion, and expert in close protection. Part of Mohamed and Dodi Al-Fayed's protection team, Lee had to guard the most famous woman in the world, Princess Diana. He formed a close bond with Diana and the young princes, particularly Harry, and it was only by a stroke of luck that he was not in the car the night Diana died. That night proved to be the turning point in his own life. Over the course of his career, Lee has worked with the rich and famous, such as Hollywood stars Tom & Nicole, Pele and Sylvester Stallone, and he gives a candid account of what it's like to work in a job where lives are literally at stake. Growing up in a tough part of Greater Manchester, Lee learnt the hard way that to survive you need to stand up to bullies and be harder than your opponent. A career in the Royal Military Police took him to the "Bandit Country" of South Armagh, where he pulled an AWOL squaddie out of a honey trap moments before an IRA active service unit arrived to kill him. He worked undercover in Northern Ireland and joined the SIB, the Army's own internal affairs unit, before entering the world of private security, operating in the world's hotspots, such as Libya and the breakaway state of Somaliland. Lee's story is one of quiet strength, of how reading a situation is invaluable to getting out of trouble. It is one of achieving personal goals and overcoming trauma through the help of his wife, Kate, and through his love of martial arts. It is also a fitting tribute to one of the outstanding figures of our age.
