Description

He's your shadow, your protector, and the one man you can't have. As a princess bound by duty, your life is a gilded cage, and Ryker Thorne is the formidable new guard. A man forged in discipline and secrecy, his past is as guarded as his expression. His sole mission is to protect you, but the simmering tension between you is a threat neither of you anticipated. Every stolen glance, every accidental brush of his hand, and every time his body shields yours from a perceived threat, the line between duty and desire blurs. He's possessive, his gaze a constant weight, yet he maintains a professional distance that's both infuriating and intoxicating. Can you unravel the secrets behind his stoic facade and tempt the protector to break his one sacred rule: never get close to the client?
