Bodyguard's princess

In the gilded heart of Milan, where power is measured in blood and bank accounts, two worlds are about to collide in a dangerous dance of obsession and deceit. The Setup Kaida Valerius is the ultimate "Lawyer’s Princess." As the only daughter of Italy’s most feared billionaire prosecutor, her life is a fortress of luxury and high expectations. At twenty-one, she is ready to conquer her final year of college, dreaming of a freedom she’s never truly tasted. She thinks the biggest threat to her independence is her father’s overprotectiveness—she has no idea she’s already being hunted. The Predator Jax "The Ghost" Rossi is a man of two faces. To the underworld, he is the cold-blooded kingpin of a rising mafia empire, a man who rules with iron fists and silent threats. To the rest of the world, he doesn’t exist. But Jax has developed a singular, dark fixation: the prosecutor’s daughter. He doesn't just want to watch her; he wants to own the very air she breathes. The Deception When a series of "accidental" security breaches leaves Kaida’s father desperate for a new lead bodyguard, Jax sees his opening. Shedding his mafia crown for a suit and a fake resume, he undergoes the interview of a lifetime. He outclasses every soldier and veteran, securing the position as Kaida’s shadow. The Proximity Now, Jax is exactly where he wants to be: inches away from the girl with the sword tattoo. By day, he is the silent, stern professional who follows her through the halls of her university, thwarting every boy who dares to look her way. By night, he is still the boss of the city, balancing his bloody throne with his growing obsession. The Conflict As the line between "protection" and "possession" begins to blur, Kaida finds herself drawn to the cold, mysterious man who guards her door. But in a world where her father puts men like Jax behind bars, their attraction is a death sentence. When rival families discover the King of the Underground is playing dress-up as a bodyguard, the hunt begins. Jax will have to decide: will he burn his empire to the ground to keep his princess, or will his secrets kill the only thing he’s ever loved?
