"I don't need you, Kasper, and I never did. You're just a product of my father's paranoia."

Anastasia is the daughter of Victor Poet, a famous actor from Hollywood since the 90's. 
She's sick of being coddled and controlled by her father. 
She wants to be independent, yet she's just shy of 22 and still living with him; all because he doesn't want to let his girl go. 
Everything changes when Anastasia escapes an attempted assault at her father's awards evening, causing him to decide that hiring her a bodyguard is the best way to protect her. 
She's less than thrilled. 

Kasper Lockwood has been in this line of work since he was 18, but he's never had a client as stubborn and difficult as Anastasia Poet. 
She hates him, that much is certain. 
The worrying part is that he loves the way she hates him. 
Now having to accompany Anastasia everywhere she goes, Kasper is forced to get along with her. 
At least, as much as she will let him. 
Despite his difficulty protecting her, Kasper soon learns that his job is worth much more than his paycheque.
He believes a good thing can't last forever. 
But he's willing to try.

Marcus Thorne wears several masks in his life-playing retired pirate, Captain Hawk, is his favorite, but if his secret is discovered, he could die. Captivated by his enemy's daughter, Marcus kidnaps her, but in turn, she captures his heart... until he discovers Isabelle is one of Napoleon's spies with the power to endanger his life and the lives of his friends. After her release, Isabelle can't stop thinking about her masked abductor and how he'd stolen her heart before ridding her of his presence. Betrothed to a man who strangely reminds her of the man whose kisses set her ablaze, she marries him, only to discover he's not who he seemed to be and is withholding secrets. But then, so is she. Content warning: This story contains a mild amount of violence and kidnapping... along with plenty of falling in love.
