Princess Seri SuMartra has done everything right. She follows protocol, leads with composure, and carries the expectations of her country without complaint. To the world, she is Rose, the most beloved and highly publicized royal of her generation.
In love, she’s a public cautionary tale. Six highly visible relationships. Six very public endings. Each one reinforcing the belief that marriage and family were never meant for her.
Matthew Ashford understands scrutiny. A famous professional football player with a legendary last name, he’s respected on and off the field and no stranger to life in the spotlight.
He lives by discipline and honesty. Football comes first. Promises are rare. Wanting Seri is immediate. Refusing her is a decision he makes to protect them both.
With reputations on the line and the world watching closely, denying what they feel seems like the responsible choice. But restraint has consequences, and some connections refuse to stay quiet no matter how carefully they’re controlled.
Beautiful Denial is a forbidden, slow-burn spicy contemporary romance featuring a royal heroine, a celebrity athlete hero, intense mutual attraction, public scrutiny, and an emotional love story where denial lasts until it costs more than giving in.
A royal romance with a famous football player, high visibility tension, and a slow-burn love story built on restraint, longing, and the risk of choosing each other anyway.
