Noble Prince by Devney Perry is now live!
The night Luke Rosen met Scarlett Marks was the only time he’s regretted becoming chief of police. One horrific night of blood and death, and now she’s living under his roof–all because he swore an oath to serve and protect.
Scarlett is stubborn and infuriating. She has no respect for the order in his structured life, and she never does anything she’s told. Worse, she doesn’t seem to care that the information she has on a motorcycle gang means she might end up dead. But her unwavering strength, her courage and tenacity and beauty, makes it impossible for him to abandon her.
If Luke is going to keep her safe, he’ll have to make the hardest decision of his life. He can either honor his values as a cop, knowing Scarlett is unlikely to survive . . . or he can break all the rules and protect the woman who’s invaded his home and his heart.

Excerpt
“If you’re not going to get out of the way, I’ll just go around.” I spun on my shoes, whirling the opposite direction, but when I went to take a step and carry my basket away, I suddenly found its weight missing from my arm. He’d stolen it from me before I’d had the chance to clutch it tight.
Then the world was spinning. The floors, the ceiling, everything flipped topsy-turvy.
I’d fainted.
No, that wasn’t right.
I was being carried. Hauled. That had been Luke’s threat and damn it, I’d underestimated him. The chief had made good on his word.
His shoulder dug into my belly as he walked. I lifted my face, pushing the hair out of my eyes. My basket of food sat exactly where I’d been standing. My chicken and rolls and cookies and chocolate milk. The items grew smaller with every one of Luke’s strides.
“Put me down.”
He kept walking.
“Put me down!” I shouted.
Still, he kept walking.
I lifted a hand and raised it above my head. My hair kept falling in front of my face, obscuring my vision, but that didn’t stop me from using every ounce of strength I had left. I brought my fist down on Luke’s lower back. Except my aim was shit so I didn’t hit his back. No, my fist bounced off his firm, perfect ass.
Luke didn’t so much as break his stride. “I promised Presley I’d keep you safe.”
And without another word, without stopping, he carried me in a fireman’s hold out of the grocery store and into the snow.
I was going back to the daisies, whether I wanted to or not.
Hello, Scarlett. I’m rock bottom.
Noble Prince is the fourth book in the Tin Gypsy series by Devney Perry. This book picks up exactly where Stone Princess ended and yes, it can be read as a standalone, but I would highly discourage that. There is underlying storyline that runs through each book and it’s also how it ties every single character together which just makes the books all the more gripping and enthralling.
Noble Prince is Luke and Scarlett’s story. Luke is the Chief of Police and Scarlett is the twin sister of Presley. If you read Stone Princess, then you’ll know Luke took Scarlett from Presley’s house and has been keeping her under his protection til he feels it is safe for her to be out on her own. However, no-one knows that Scarlett is under Luke’s protection. Everyone thinks he sent her on way and is keeping an eye out for her in other ways.
Noble Prince is much a slower paced story than the previous books. But it has to be. Scarlett has a danger past and is afraid to trust anyone. Luke has to keep looking over his shoulder and be more vigilant than ever before to keep Scarlett safe and hidden.
I love how this story unfolds and plays out between Luke and Scarlett. They are both attracted to one another but are cautious around one another for their own reasons. Watching not only the chemistry build between them, but the trust and companionships just made it all the more real and authentic. Scarlett really came into her own in this book and seeing Luke become stronger not only in who he is, but his job, added another layer to these characters
Devney does a phenomenal job of blending the romance with the suspense in this story. Neither overshadowed the other, but played key parts throughout the story. Each part of the story blended and flowed perfectly into one another, making the story seamless and fly by quicker than I anticipated. It may be a slow-burn story but it is a quick read because of well it is written.
I cannot wait for the next book, Fallen Jester. Devney has set this one up perfectly!
