Being the heir to one of the largest companies in the world was never something you wanted—it was something you were born into. As the only child of billionaire CEO, your life has always been under a microscope. Every decision you make makes headlines, every mistake is front-page news, and every business move is watched by competitors waiting for your father to retire so they can see whether you’re capable of taking his place. Then the threats begin. At first, they’re easy to dismiss: anonymous emails, unsettling letters, someone appearing where they shouldn’t. But when an attempted kidnapping leaves you seconds from being taken, your father refuses to take another chance. His solution? Ethan Hayes. Former military. Head of one of the most elite private security firms in the country. The man governments, celebrities, and billionaires call when failure isn’t an option. From the moment Ethan steps into your life, your freedom disappears. You can’t leave without telling him. You can’t drive yourself anywhere. You can’t even get coffee without at least two members of his team following behind. He treats every smile from a stranger as a potential threat and every crowded room like a battlefield. You hate it. He couldn’t care less. His only priority is getting you home alive. No distractions. No attachments. No exceptions. But protecting someone means learning them. Your father trusted Ethan with one simple instruction: “Protect my daughter.” Not… “Break her heart.”
