Veiled

Evangeline Nueva thought she landed a dream assignment: protect the youngest son of the Almazans, the city's most powerful and feared family. As a fresh-faced police intern, she expected tight security, luxury halls, and a spoiled teenager with a target on his back.

But, what she got instead was Koen Alius.

Broad-shouldered, battle-scarred, and very much a grown man, Koen doesn't need a bodyguard-especially not one fresh out of training. He's nothing like she expected. Hidden far from the city in a secluded estate, Koen is quiet, calculating, and built like someone who's had to survive on his own for far too long.

Only after arriving does Evangeline learn the truth: Koen isn't some distant relative. He's the Almazans' illegitimate heir-exiled to protect the family's name, yet still a threat to their throne. And her assignment? It was never about protecting the youngest son. It was about keeping an eye on Koen...and making sure he never remembers what he's owed.

But the more time she spends with him, the more Evangeline begins to wonder who the real danger is-the exile with fire in his blood, or the family that wants him forgotten.

***

He is a man of mystery and allure, a shadowed figure who holds a thousand untold stories, hinting at a past veiled in secrecy. And she, a girl consumed by an insatiable curiosity who couldn't resist the pull of the unknown... like a curious mouse venturing into the lion's den.
