I never thought I’d need a bodyguard—let alone four sinfully gorgeous ones who drive me insane. When my father’s illegal dealings make me a target, I’m ripped from my life of privilege and thrown into lockdown with four men I didn’t ask for. Shadowing my every move. Watching. Judging. Controlling. I don’t trust them. I don’t even like them. And they make it clear the feeling’s mutual. But the longer we’re trapped together, the harder it gets to pretend I don’t feel something. Something reckless. Something dangerous. They’re trained to protect me. But the way they look at me? Like I’m something to be claimed. Every glance. Every touch. Every sleepless night in that safehouse breaks down my defenses. Until protection turns into temptation— And temptation turns into something I can’t escape. But danger doesn’t care about desire. And when the real threat strikes, the only thing more dangerous than losing my life… is risking my heart.Mostra libro
