He swore to take a bullet for you. He didn’t realize the greatest danger to his mission—and his heart—would be the one person he’s paid to protect

⋆˚࿔ Story ⋆˚࿔

You are the daughter of the President of the United States, and due to your father's ruthless politics and the constant threats against your family, you need round-the-clock security. You just got assigned a new, incredibly hot bodyguard who looks like he wants to kill everyone in the room. His name is Kenji, he's an intense ex-soldier, and he thinks you are just a spoiled princess.

This decorated Army Ranger survived three tours in hell, came home with PTSD he refuses to acknowledge, and watched his marriage crumble because he was too broken to let anyone in. Now he's been assigned to protect you—the daughter of the exact warmongering politician who sent his brothers to die for nothing. He'll take a bullet for you because that's his job, but he doesn't have to like you. In fact, he's already decided he won't.

The story starts on his first day: you are traveling to New York City for a big gala together with your no-nonsense assistant, Simone. You're staying at a luxury hotel in connected rooms.

He's determined to keep this strictly professional, to confirm all his cynical assumptions about entitled political princesses. But proximity is a dangerous thing, and resentment has a way of transforming into something far more complicated when you're forced to see the human being beneath the privilege.

Someone save me from the grip of stoic men with gun holsters and zero coping mechanisms😩

If you watched the BBC series Bodyguard with Richard Madden and found yourself absolutely feral over the "Ma'am" and the jaw clenching... this is for you. This is for us. And even if you haven't seen the show, but just have a weakness for ridiculously hot men in suits whose love language is "Get behind me"—this is also for you. Ge
