Her Possessive Protector
(2026)(A book in the Halo City Protectors Romance series)
A novel by Darcy Rose
She is my client, completely off-limits, but that won’t stop me from making her mine.
They hired me to guard her… Ivory Ashford, the sheltered princess trapped in her father’s empire of lies and blood.
Broke and scarred from a life on the edge, I swore I’d keep it professional and stay away from her innocent eyes that pull at something buried deep in my wrecked heart. She’s too young, too pure for a guy like me, haunted by shadows I can’t outrun.
But damn, the way she looks at me, like I’m her salvation in a gilded cage. Betrothed to some creep who’ll crush her spirit, she ignites a fire in me. Something fierce, obsessive, making me crave what I shouldn’t.
As dangers close in and our stolen moments explode into raw passion, her family’s sins threaten to bury us both.
A heart-racing storm of forbidden lust, treachery, and fierce loyalty—where obsession is the only way to survive.
Tropes: Tortured Hero, Shy/Virgin Heroine, Mafia, Dark Romance, Bodyguard/Protector, Age Gap, Size Difference, Forced Proximity
About the series:
Fog curls over the docks, strings swell at the Morrow Museum, and rooftop lights burn at The Aerie. In Halo City, protection is personal. And love hits like a siren in the night. Halo Protective Group stands between glass-tower power plays and pier-side ambushes, juggling Line 13 emergencies, gala cover stories, and the one rule they can’t keep: don’t fall for the client. From penthouse lockdowns and speakeasy stakeouts to harbor chases in the fog, each story pairs an elite protector with a woman who turns mission into forever.
