A Simple Guard

Amir Rimer

What if the greatest threat to your safety was the one who swore to protect you?
He took the job for its simplicity. A bodyguard with no name, no backstory, and no questions asked. His instructions were clear: watch, wait, protect. No one told him who he was protecting, and at first, he didn’t care. It was just another job.
But this was no ordinary assignment.
His boss trusts him completely, blindly even—an unwavering faith that defies all logic. Yet, deep down, he knows he doesn’t deserve it. He’s the first to admit he’s not the smartest man, and he’s certainly not the most qualified for the job. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is keeping his boss safe… at any cost.
He’s willing to do anything—lie, manipulate, even sabotage his boss’s dreams—all in the name of safety. Because in his mind, the world is a dangerous place, full of risks that are better left unchallenged. And if that means his boss lives a life half-lived, well, that’s a price he’s willing to pay.
But what happens when the man he’s protecting starts to wake up? When he begins to see the cage built around him, crafted not out of malice, but out of misguided love?
What happens when the protector becomes the prisoner?
A Simple Guard is a psychological thriller that takes you deep into the mind of a man whose greatest enemy might just be himself. A masterfully woven tale of loyalty, control, and the thin line between love and obsession.
Will he let go before it’s too late?
Or will his loyalty turn lethal?
Dive into this gripping tale of trust, paranoia, and the shadows lurking within. Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers and mind-bending narratives.

Dead Man's Planet - A Lone Grave...

William Morrison

Dead Man's Planet by William Morrison - When a driven man arrives at a cemetery world, what else can it be but journey's end—and the start of a new one? 
Outside the ship, it was the sun that blazed angrily. Inside, it was Sam Wilson's temper. "Study your lessons," he snarled, with a savageness that surprised himself, "or I'll never let you set foot on this planet at all." 
"Okay, Pop," said Mark, a little white around the nostrils. He looked old for so young a kid. "I didn't mean anything wrong." 
"I don't care what you meant. You do as you're told." 
In the quiet that followed, broken only by the hum of the arithmetic-tape, Sam wondered at himself. As kids went, Mark had never been a nuisance. Certainly Rhoda had never had any trouble with him. But Rhoda had been altogether different. Sam was tough and he had always got a sense of satisfaction out of knowing that he was hard-boiled. Or at least that was once true. Rhoda had been sweet, gentle.... 
He aroused himself from thoughts of her by calling, "Mark!" 
"Yes, Pop?" 
His voice had been harsher than he had intended. Over the past few weeks he seemed gradually to have been losing control of it. Now, although he was going to do his son a favor, he sounded like a slavemaster threatening a beating. "You can shut off your arithmetic lesson. We're going out." 
"But didn't you want me—" 
"I changed my mind."
