Twisted Games

A forbidden bodyguard-princess romance, built on forced proximity and a slow burn between a duty-bound royal heir and the protector sworn not to fall for his clients.

Yes. It is explicitly marketed as a forbidden royal-bodyguard romance, pairing a reluctant princess with the bodyguard sworn to protect her.

While this book is part of an interconnected series, it functions as a standalone with its own central couple and plot. You may encounter minor cameos or references to characters from other books, but they are not required reading to follow the story.

It is the second book in the Twisted series and follows Bridget, one of the four friends the series centers on.

The narrative is structured in two parts, with the first part overlapping chronologically with the events of the preceding book, Twisted Love. The second part of the story then progresses into the present day, following the conclusion of the first book.

The Twisted books are interconnected standalones, so each can be read alone, but reading in order (starting with Twisted Love) best follows the recurring friend group.

Yes, through Ana Huang's shared universe, where characters and references cross between her series.

No. Twisted Games is one of the lighter entries, leaning on a slow-burn forbidden romance rather than the darker tone of Twisted Love or Twisted Lies.
