I don’t need a bodyguard, but eventually, I’ll want him…

 

Clara

 

The Monroe name has plagued me my entire life. My family disintegrated and my childhood was ruined by it. But when a series of threats puts me in danger, my father insists I need protection—something I fiercely resist until I’m given an ultimatum: find a detail of my own or use one of my father’s shady spies.

Angus is everything I’m not: gruff, guarded, and carrying the weight of a past betrayal. He’s here to keep me safe, but I can’t ignore the pull I feel towards him. Beneath his tough exterior, I see glimpses of a man who understands what it’s like to be hurt and vulnerable. And that scares me because I’m starting to want him in ways I never expected.

Angus

 

I’ve faced danger head-on in war zones, but nothing prepares me for Clara Monroe. Her optimistic outlook on life annoys the hell out of me, yet she captivates me. I know better than to let my guard down. My past has taught me that trust can be a dangerous thing. But my need to protect her is strong enough that I relent.

As a web of blackmail and deceit is uncovered, protecting Clara becomes more than a job—it’s personal. She awakens feelings in me that I thought I’d buried forever. But as our connection deepens, I fear I’m not the man she thinks I am. Can I keep her safe without losing myself?
