He’d die to protect her. He just can’t love her.
I’m Elijah Rhodes—top-tier agent for Guardian Security.
We protect the world’s elite: heads of state, royalty, billionaires, celebrities. The untouchable.
I didn’t come from that world.
I came from Special Ops, from impossible missions and impossible choices. The kind that harden a man until there’s nothing left worth saving.
That’s why I have rules:
No long-term assignments.
No repeat clients.
No attachments.
Protect. Leave. Forget.
It’s the only way I survive.
Until Dr. Danielle Sinclair.
Brilliant. Beautiful. Completely off-limits.
I protected her once—and then I walked away before she could see just how dangerous I really am.
Now, one year later, Dani’s life is on the line.
And every instinct I have demands I break every rule I’ve ever lived by to keep her safe.
Some lines shouldn’t be crossed.
Some rules were made to be broken.
I’ll protect Dani with my life.
But I can’t give her a heart I no longer have.
