He was hired to guard her body. He never planned to give her his heart.
Anya Williams has spent her whole life in a quiet Portland farmhouse, far from the cutthroat world of corporate empires and family betrayal. But when her beloved grandfather is diagnosed with a brain tumor, she's thrust into the president's chair of his billion-dollar company in Seattle — surrounded by enemies who share her last name.
Her grandmother wants her gone. Her half-sister wants her destroyed. And someone has hired a bodyguard to keep her alive.
Maximiliano Lombardi is no ordinary protector. The heir to the most powerful mafia dynasty in Italy, he took the job as a favor — and expected nothing more than a simple assignment. But Anya is nothing like the women in his world. She's fierce, humble, brilliant, and haunted by a past she can't outrun.
As corporate sabotage escalates into something far more dangerous, Max discovers that the threats closing in on Anya go deeper than boardroom politics. A predator from her past has resurfaced — wealthy, connected, and obsessed with making her his. And he'll burn down everything she's built to get to her.
To protect her, Max will have to reveal who he really is. To love him, Anya will have to accept a world she never imagined — one of private jets, armed compounds, and a family that kills to protect its own.
But in the Lombardi empire, loyalty is blood. And Max has already decided: Anya is his.
