Twisted Game by Ana Huang

Twisted Games by Ana Huang is an addictive contemporary royal romance filled with forbidden attraction, intense chemistry, suspense and emotional conflict. The second instalment in Ana Huang’s popular Twisted series follows Princess Bridget von Ascheberg and her reserved, fiercely protective bodyguard, Rhys Larsen.

Rhys Larsen is an elite bodyguard who takes his responsibilities seriously. Controlled, disciplined and emotionally guarded, he lives according to two important rules: protect his clients at all costs and never become emotionally involved with them. His professional boundaries have always remained firm—until he is assigned to protect Princess Bridget.

Bridget von Ascheberg is intelligent, strong-minded and determined to build a life beyond the expectations attached to her royal title. Although she was born into privilege, she does not want every part of her future decided by tradition. She dreams of freedom, independence and the chance to choose her own path. However, an unexpected change in the royal line of succession places new responsibilities on her shoulders and forces her closer to a future she never wanted.

At first, Bridget and Rhys constantly challenge each other. She resents his strict rules and commanding presence, while he finds her stubbornness both frustrating and impossible to ignore. Yet the more time they spend together, the more their carefully maintained boundaries begin to disappear. Beneath their disagreements lies a powerful attraction that neither of them can safely acknowledge.

Their relationship develops slowly through forced proximity, shared danger and moments of emotional vulnerability. Rhys begins to see the woman behind the royal title, while Bridget discovers that beneath his cold exterior is a man shaped by loyalty, pain and an intense need to protect those he cares about. What begins as a professional assignment gradually becomes something deeper, more dangerous and impossible to resist.

But Bridget is not free to follow her heart. As a princess—and potentially the future queen—her choices carry consequences for her family, her country and the monarchy itself. Tradition demands that she place duty above personal happiness, while Rhys’s position makes their growing relationship completely inappropriate. Loving each other could create a scandal, threaten Bridget’s future and destroy everything they have worked to protect.

Ana Huang combines romance, royal responsibility and suspense to create a story about two people caught between desire and duty. The novel explores the sacrifices demanded by public life, the burden of family expectations and the courage required to fight for personal happiness. Its bodyguard-and-princess dynamic delivers protective moments, sharp dialogue, emotional tension and a passionate slow-burn relationship.

Bridget is portrayed as more than a traditional fairytale princess. She is compassionate and graceful but also determined to make her own decisions. Rhys is equally compelling: protective, brooding and intensely loyal, yet emotionally vulnerable beneath his controlled appearance. Their contrasting personalities create a memorable relationship built on trust, respect and undeniable chemistry.

Twisted Games by Ana Huang is an excellent choice for readers who enjoy forbidden love, royal romance, protective heroes, forced proximity and emotionally intense stories. While it is Book Two of the Twisted series, the central romance has a complete storyline and can be read independently. Readers may still prefer to begin with Twisted Love to experience the connected characters and wider world in order.

Please note that this is an adult romance containing explicit sexual content, strong language and mature themes. The author also lists content notes including gun violence and references to child abuse, death and drug overdose. Ana Huang’s official website
