A man in love should not be underestimated.
From a young age, I wanted to be a protector and took the steps to do so. My ability to compartmentalize means I never see my assignments as more than a job. That went up in flames the second I saw Willa’s picture, though, as she’s everything I never knew I wanted, yet I can’t act on it. Not only is she my next mission, I’m not who she thinks I am. I vow to keep her safe at all costs from any threat, but every minute I spend with her makes me realize I don’t care about the consequences. She’s mine and I dare someone to tell me otherwise.
To shield his woman, he will fight to the death…
Strangers adore my parents. Thankfully, most can separate their fame from reality. For those who can’t, contingencies are made and it’s usually enough. Until it isn’t. My dad is scared, my mom, too. They’re unwilling to take any chances with me, and I’m not stupid, so I agree to the precautions and numerous bodyguards. I adapt as I always do, even as part of me yearns to have a normal life. For a guy to see me as more than a case or stepping stone. Then I meet the new student. He’s a bit older and unimpressed with my last name. Now I can’t help but wonder if it’s me or my heart that’s truly in danger.
…of anyone who dares to come after her.
