The Bodyguard's Fake Bride
(2026)(The sixth book in the Spence's Family Billionaires series)
A novel by Kathy Asher
I don't need a bodyguard. I've survived three assassination attempts without one.
What I don't know how to handle is Dimitri Volkov.
He crashes through my hotel room door like a man who's never once asked permission for anything, puts two bullets in the man about to kill me, and then has the audacity to look annoyed about it. Six-three, military-scarred, and utterly impossible ''' he assigns himself to my side like I'm a problem he's been handed and fully intends to solve.
I am a princess. I don't take orders.
He doesn't care.
The threats are real, my own government may be behind them, and the only man standing between me and a bullet is one who watches me like I'm simultaneously his greatest threat and the only thing worth protecting. We run. We hide. We share too many safe houses with one bed and too many silences that say things neither of us will admit out loud.
The fake engagement is his idea — strategy, he calls it. Cover. I agree, because my country needs this deal and I am nothing if not practical.
I tell myself it's not real.
I tell myself I'm not falling for a man who refuses to survive happiness.
I tell myself a lot of things.
Dimitri Volkov makes me a liar.
