He was my protection... and my greatest weakness. Twenty-year-old Marfil Cortes is finally living life on her own terms. After escaping her billionaire father's world for New York, she spends her days juggling Columbia classes and stolen hours at her ballet studio. Normal. Predictable. Exactly how she likes it. Until the afternoon she's abducted in Central Park. Days later, Marfil wakes up in hospital with no memory of what happened and only the chilling certainty that she's no longer safe. Now her hard-won independence comes at a price when her father assigns her an around-the-clock bodyguard. Cold, controlled and infuriatingly unreadable, Sebastian Moore is everything she resents - and exactly what she needs. But as danger closes in and the stakes rise, so does the tension between them. Because the closer Sebastian gets, the harder it is for Marfil to keep her distance when she discovers that the real threat might not be the one lurking in the shadows... but the feelings she never meant to have for the man sworn to protect her.
