When I first applied for the job I thought it would be like all the others: working as nanny for an aristocratic family.
Then I got the job and found out how wrong I was.
Now I’m the new nanny for two adorable little girls who happen to be princesses.
Their father is the widowed King of Denmark.
And my new home? The royal palace in Copenhagen.
Adjusting to my new life isn’t easy but the hardest part hasn’t been the girls who still grieve over the loss of their mother.
It’s their father.
Cold, mysterious and moody, with an icy stare that seems to penetrate your soul, King Aksel may have hired me to take care of his daughters but he wants as little to do with me as possible.
Yet the longer I share these palace walls with this man, the more that I’m drawn to him. His chiseled face and sexual swagger are only part of the package. It’s in the long, intense glances at the dinner table, the way we’ll brush up against each other in the halls, the rare glimpses of the man deep inside, like the sun passing through clouds.
But no matter how I feel about him, we can never be together.
You think it’s bad enough being in love with your boss?
Try falling in love with a king.
Why you should read it:
With every book Karina Halle writes, I say it’s my favorite book of hers yet, and I’m continuing that trend with A Nordic King. I love this book! It’s a royal romance with a broody, drop-dead sexy Danish king, who will grace many book boyfriend lists. His new vivacious, sassy Australian nanny is the warmth and life he, his family and his castle need after two years of mourning for his late wife. She speaks to his heart as no one ever has, and their chemistry is off-the-charts, but King Askel has demons that keep him from pursuing his feelings. He attempts to resist her, but the pull is too strong. They fall for each other quickly when they allow themselves to cross that line, but they face significant hurdles before she can ever become his queen. With its swoony hero, compelling heroine, adorable princesses, precious pet pic, royal fantasy, scorching-hot love scenes and heart-melting romance, A Nordic King has it all, and you’ll forego sleep in order to read it in one sitting.
