HER SHADOW | WLW

Two worlds. One assignment. Zero patience.

Kyrie knows struggle like it's stitched into her bones. In her early twenties and barely scraping by, she lives in a rundown apartment with her sick mother and teenage brother, both of whom depend on her. With her father long gone, off playing house with a rich woman and leaving behind nothing but debt, Kyrie is stuck hustling for every dollar just to keep the lights on.

So when a mysterious, well-dressed man offers her a high-paying job protecting his daughter, Kyrie doesn't hesitate. All she has to do is babysit some spoiled rich girl and keep her out of trouble. Easy, right?

Enter Yuki Monroe.

Rich. Reckless. And a royal pain in the ass.

Yuki lives fast and parties harder. With a tongue sharper than her stilettos and a habit of turning heads, for all the wrong reasons, she's become more liability than heiress. Her father's solution? Hire someone who won't quit after two weeks. Someone who can handle her attitude, her secrets... and the danger that comes with being a Monroe.

But Yuki isn't what she seems. Beneath the designer clothes and perfect pout lies a girl drowning in her own silence, clinging to rebellion like it's the only thing keeping her breathing. She pushes people away for a reason, and Kyrie? She's not just anybody.

Now forced into each other's lives, sparks fly and tempers flare as Kyrie and Yuki clash in every way possible. But sometimes, the person you least expect is the one who sees you the most.

A bodyguard with nothing to lose.
An heiress with everything to hide.
What could possibly go wrong?
