She hired him to protect her, or did she walk right into his trap? Paris First it was a feeling on the back of my neck. Then a shadow behind me as I walked home at night. And then… Gorgeous red roses, left on my doorstep by someone whose unrelenting attention feels like a heavy weight. I need this Thanksgiving with my parents to go smoothly. They’re already mourning my sister—I don’t need them worried about me too. I just need someone to watch my back, help me feel safe, and I know Myles is that man. Somehow, I have no doubts that this stranger will protect me from harm. He makes me feel safe enough to give him everything, to experience things with him that I’ve never felt before. Just as I fall in love with him, I realize my bodyguard is hiding a shocking secret—one that will change everything and make me come to terms with what I truly desire. Myles I am not a good man. I’ve done violent things, things that keep coming back to me in my nightmares. She’s the one good thing in my life, and I’ll protect her at all costs. I know I shouldn’t be following her this closely, know I’ve taken things way too far. But my simple desire to keep this woman safe has turned into an all-consuming need to keep her close to me, in my sight at all times. And then she makes me an offer I can’t refuse, a way to get even closer to her. Paris doesn’t know it yet, but she belongs to me. When she finds out what I’ve done, I don’t know whether she’ll run, or accept the darkest parts of me. Turkey isn’t the only thing getting basted this Thanksgiving, let’s fall in love before dessert!
