I pepper-sprayed the man assigned to protect me. He didn't even flinch.
Sixteen-hour shifts. A hospital drowning in exhaustion. And now a six-foot wall of leather and quiet menace leaning against my car every single night, whether I want him there or not.
I don't need a bodyguard. I definitely don't need one who shows up uninvited, stands too close, and somehow makes me feel safer than I've felt in years.
But Hawk doesn't ask permission. He just stays — through the worst nights of my career, through rumors that turn the whole town against him, through the one truth he's never told anyone before me.
I know exactly how this ends if I let him get any closer.
The question isn't whether he'll break my heart.
It's whether I'll let him hold it first.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
