Mercenary Princess, the first in a thrilling, new erotic contemporary romance series by Setta Jay is available NOW!
A crown princess living a dangerous double life and a sinfully sexy Russian billionaire with a ruthless penchant for collecting secrets: a match set for disaster.
For years, one man has ruled Sophia’s fantasies. The harmless obsession keeps her warm on the nights her double life starts to take its toll. She, unfortunately, gains his attention at the worst possible moment, when she’s in the middle of a dangerous job. Now, she’ll be forced to protect her heart along with her life of lies.
Viktor has been tempted by the innocent princess’s lust-filled glances for far too long, and he has fought hard to resist her beauty. When her secrets finally draw him in, getting through her royal guard proves a minor inconvenience. But one sexually charged night isn’t enough. He wants more, including whatever she’s hiding beneath that demure façade.
As much as Sophia wants Viktor, she can never fully allow him in because her secrets aren’t her own. Viktor is determined to have all of his princess. Will they find a way to be together, or will her dangerous secrets tear them apart?
Stephanie’s 3 Star Review:
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
I love reading royalty stories. So when this one popped up as a request to review I jumped at the chance. This particular royal story isn’t your typical one. It’s not all unicorns and rainbows. Actually, Princess Sophia basically lives like a prisoner in her own country when she’s at home with her family. So she stays away as best as she can and tries to not make any waves that would cause a summons.
A billionaire businessman, Viktor, has caught her eye but he’s not “marriage material” according to the Crown. So she must keep her attraction at bay all the while keeping a secret profile of what she does outside her families wishes. That is until Viktor sees her one night leaving her hotel with only one guard. He’s intrigued.
Now that I have your attention…I will say this story started out slow for me but about this point in the book it started to pick up. There’s lots of backstory filled in in the beginning so I think that’s why it was so slow. After all the players are introduced you can see how brilliant the Princess and her friends are and what they’re trying to accomplish.
Adding Viktor to Sophia’s mix is tricky but they find a way. You’ll root for them the entire story, I do believe. It’s as close to a fairy tale romance as a mercenary and a skirt the line businessman can come close to having.

Excerpt:
With all attention currently off her, she raised her glass again and allowed her gaze to drift in Viktor’s direction. She held the glass suspended at her lips as their eyes connected. Even with the distance and his dimly lit seating area partially obscuring her view, she felt a shot of electricity slide over her skin, sending tingles of awareness coursing through her body. How was that kind of chemical attraction even possible? She’d lusted after him for years, but to be on the receiving end of his bold appraisal was something very different and far too enticing.
It made her crave something she couldn’t have.
Viktor was seductive in a way no man should be. He lounged in a chair, his long legs stretched before him, and all she could think about was climbing over those strong thighs and straddling him before ripping his shirt open and using his body. It didn’t matter that he was surrounded by men and women, to whom he paid no attention, or that armed, tattooed guards stood at the private stairs going to his section and beside his leather seat.
She groaned mentally.
Having him in her sphere was rapidly becoming a harsh lesson in frustration. The space between their VIP alcoves could have spanned an ocean, and they’d have been more likely to interact. There was enough firepower between his guards and her own to ensure their worlds could never collide.
A “prim” princess of a small country and a ruthless Russian billionaire with a dark history—it was definitely not a match for the storybooks.
