The last time I saw Maxim, he was head bodyguard to my criminal father. Now I’m in witness protection, and he’s in an orange jumpsuit, chained up like a beast. The scars on his face say the years have been brutal. But to me, he’s never looked sexier. Fiercer, more darkly handsome. He’s way older than me. I shouldn’t want him like this. But when his burning eyes lock onto mine, I feel something drawing us together. Something raw, obsessive. Fixated. Which even iron bars can’t destroy. He tells me he’s going to protect me, whatever it takes. If it was anyone else, I’d think they were crazy. But when there’s a crash at my bedroom window, I just know… He’s come for me. And I’m not his little charge anymore. I’m a grown woman, and he’s looking at me like he wants to devour me. This is a totally SAFE, steamy insta-love romance, featuring an obsessed, possessive hero. If you like sizzling age-gap romances, with plenty of high-stakes danger, you'll love Maxim and Emory's story. Tons of feels, dirty talk and a sweet HEA!
