The Heiress's Bodyguard
“Scarlett Romano has always lived in the shadow of her powerful mafia family, a gilded cage where rebellion is her only escape. She navigates underground clubs and dangerous thrills, defying the control of her domineering father. But when an assassination attempt shakes her world, her freedom is replaced by a new prison: a brooding, unyielding bodyguard named Adrian Cross. Adrian is a man running from his past. A former soldier with scars he keeps hidden, he takes the job protecting Scarlett reluctantly, drawn into the mafia's web to settle an old debt. Her fiery defiance clashes with his cold discipline, but beneath the constant bickering lies a magnetic tension neither can ignore. As Adrian delves into the mystery behind the attempts on Scarlett's life, he uncovers a tangled web of betrayal within her family. When Scarlett is kidnapped by a rival mafia faction, Adrian embarks on a daring mission to save her, risking everything for the woman who has become his reason to fight. Scarlett, no longer content to be a pawn in her father's empire, discovers strength she never knew she had, transforming from a reckless heiress into a formidable force. Together, Scarlett and Adrian must navigate a world of shifting alliances, buried secrets, and the thin line between duty and desire. Will they survive the darkness threatening to consume them, or will love become their greatest vulnerability?”
