Lines We Cross

"Luke's name in my mind sends shivers down to my pulsating clit. His face appears behind my eyelids, the sharp curve of his jawline, the perfectly messy dark waves, his black eyes glinting with concern as his brows press together.

The softness in his deep voice when he talks to me, the slight narrowing of his eyes as he analyzes me to make sure i'm okay, the heat between us I swear I imagined. How he knows everything I feel no matter how much I try to hide it.

I imagine his hands-what they'd feel like against my waist. His breath on my neck. How unshaken he'd stay, he was always so steady, so strong, so deliberate. And then, worse-

What he'd whisper against my ear. What I'd beg for. How easy it would be to fall apart all over him if he let me."

Mirren Von Adler lives in a world completely controlled by her parents. She's supposed to be the picture-perfect daughter of a global fashion empire. But she is trapped behind the face of their empire.

Mirren was forced into an engagement with the heir to another corporate empire-an arrangement meant to cover up her family's past mistakes, none of which were hers. Now, she wonders if she'll ever get the chance to fall in love for real... or if that was never meant to be part of her future.

And after one public misstep too many, she's assigned a full-time bodyguard.

Enter Luke Tanner: quiet, ruthless, and bound by rules that don't bend. He's there to protect her - not to talk, not to feel, and definitely not to get involved.

But when the threats grow darker and the secrets around her start to unravel, Luke becomes the only person Mirren can trust. And trust turns into something deeper. Something dangerous.

But falling for Luke could cost her everything - her image, her safety, her family's empire, and the last bit of freedom she has left.

Some lines are meant to be crossed.
Others could ruin you forever.
