Ace: A Royal Protectors Companion Novel
Kat Mizera
February 23, 2025
He lives in the shadows.
She’s the one he never forgot.
Life as a CIA operative is full of danger but it’s also painfully lonely. Living under the radar doesn’t leave room for relationships, let alone the white-picket-fence future she wanted.
There was someone once.
I walked away.
And I never stopped regretting it.
Now my years of service are catching up with me, and I’m finally ready for something different. I just never expected that change to be Shannon—or that she’d be in serious trouble.
One kiss. One mistake. One feeling I can’t shake.
The man in me still wants her.
The soldier in me will protect her at all costs.
She doesn’t want my help. She doesn’t trust the life I live. But I’m done walking away—especially when someone is watching her, closing in, and pushing us toward a confrontation neither of us is prepared for.
Even if saving her means losing her… again.
This romantic suspense features second-chance love, a protective alpha hero, high-stakes danger, and a woman who may be the key to his redemption—or his undoing.
Author’s Note: Ace falls into the Royal Protectors series as book 1.5 and was formerly published under the title “Cocky Protector” as part of the Cocky Heroes Club series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Who knew one kiss would leave such an impact…Shannon and Ace met when her father sort of set them up. But Ace was leaving the next day so it never amounted to anything. But every once in a while, when they let their minds wonder both wonder what the other is doing.
It’s been a decade since the unforgtable kiss and when Ace receives a call telling him that Shannon might be at risk, he drops everything to go check it out. But when they see each other again, sparks fly and this time around there is nothing and no one stoping them from acting on their feelings.
This story was fast paced and honely kinda cute. I have to say i was not blown away but i still liked it enough to read it in one sitting.

📚ARC REVIEW📚
The Royal Protector series by Kat Mizera has been one of my favorites by her since the beginning. This one was a pretty quick read and although it is being published after quite a few books, the timeline falls between the first and second book. If you’re a long time reader, then you know that Shannon (MFC) was introduced to us as Ace’s fiancé in Xander’s book. This book is the story of how they came to be. I usually don’t get excited about stories such as these because, well, I already know the ending LOL. Fell me? But like I said, this is one of my favorite series by Kat so I invested in it and I liked it.
The story had the usual “suspenseful” nature we have come to expect from this series. I really enjoyed the “second chance” aspect of the story and enjoyed the character development as well. I can’t say that I’m a fan of the third-act “conflict”, not because it felt out of place, but more that it felt rushed due to the length of the story. *shrug* I dunno, I wasn’t wow’d but I didn’t not like this story. Do with that information what you will.
