The Light He Guards

When 21-year-old journalist Nellie Vasiliou crosses paths with a dangerous criminal organization, her life is thrown into chaos. Known for her vibrant personality and ability to befriend just-about everyone she meets, Nellie is the opposite of the world she's been pushed into. She's a skilled writer, unafraid to dig deep for the truth, and her relentless pursuit for justice has made her a target. Forced into an arrangement with the one person she never expected to rely on- her brother's best friend, Kaz Moretti.

Reclusive, cold, and dangerously calculated, 26-year-old Kaz runs a global firm that operates in the shadows, fighting crime in ways that blur the line between right and wrong. His grumpy, secretive nature keeps others at a distance, and he prefers it that way. Kaz has no need for warmth or friendliness; his world is ruled by control and precision. Every move he makes is deliberate, every decision measured, and love is a luxury he has no interest in. His rude, gruff attitude stands in stark contrast to Nellies's outgoing, bubbly nature, and the tension between them is undeniable and infuriating.

Forced together, Nellie's warm, hopeful outlook clashes with the cold, guarded walls Kaz has built around himself. As he shields her from threats that stalk her every move, their reluctant alliance deepens, shifting into something darker and more dangerous. Kaz will do whatever it takes to keep her safe, but as his desire for her start to emerge, it is clear he's not only fighting to keep her
safe- he's fighting against himself.
