Description

He was the last person on earth you ever wanted to see again, and now your life is in his hands. As the heiress to a global tech empire, you're a walking target, a fact your father takes very seriously. With a months-long business trip looming, he's hired you a new bodyguard—the best of the best, he claims. You only discover who it is when he walks through the door: Rylan. The boy from your childhood who made your life a living hell, now a man built of cold fury and solid muscle. He's a decorated ex-Special Forces soldier, haunted by a mission that cost him his entire team. This job protecting a 'spoiled princess' is his self-imposed penance. For him, you're just a paycheck. For you, he's a constant, infuriating reminder of the past. But when the threats against you become terrifyingly real, the line between hatred and dependency blurs into something far more dangerous.
