Protect her. Obey her father. Never fall for her.
Those were the only three rules Theo was given when he accepted his assignment as the president’s daughter’s personal bodyguard.

Danielle Geiger was supposed to be another mission to him, just a spoiled heiress hidden behind privilege and secrets. But the moment he saw the loneliness behind her toughness, everything he’d been trained to control began to break.

And then, Theo broke all three rules.

Every order he followed led him back to her.
Every touch he denied burned a little deeper.

And when the line between duty and desire finally snapped, there was no turning back.

Because Theo could guard her body, fight her enemies, and take every bullet meant for her,
but the one thing he could never protect her from… was himself.

He guarded her body.
But she was the one who held his heart hostage.

Now, love isn’t the risk.
It’s the weapon that could ruin them both.

Theo's heart chilled when the voice came through the radio. This one was deep, familiar, with a dangerous calm that Theo had not heard in years.


He gripped the steering wheel tighter. "Who the hell is this?"


The SUV behind accelerated and pulled up alongside his speeding car. The tinted window rolled down. A man leaned halfway out, hair longer than before, his signature scar was running deeper along his jaw.


Theo nearly crashed from the shock. "Aiden!"


Aiden Black was his former squad partner and Theo's favourite rival. His rival who was declared dead two years ago on a mission that went horribly wrong.


Theo's voice dropped like a rock. "How are you alive?"
