I’m Elijah Rhodes top-tier Guardian Security agent. We protect the world’s power heads of state, royalty, A-listers. The elite. I didn’t grow up with much, and nothing came easy. My time in Special Ops hardened me, gave me purpose, and left me with a black heart. I took the missions no one else would. Still do. My rules are: No long-term assignments. No repeats. No attachments. Keep it professional. Keep it distant. It’s how I’ve survived. Until her. Dr. Danielle Sinclair is brilliant, beautiful, off-limits. I protected her, then did what I always do. I walked away. Now, a year later, tragedy strikes. Dani’s life is in danger, and every instinct in me demands I break my own rules 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 don’t have. Have you been Aleatha’d? DEFENDING LOVE is a steamy, high-stakes, standalone romantic suspense with bodyguard vibes, second chances, and all the feels—set in the same world as the Sinclair Duet.
