GUARDED FLAME
She's cold, untouchable, and used to being feared. He's the one man who's not afraid to get too close. Isabella Black doesn't do fear. She doesn't do help. And she definitely doesn't do protection. As the icy CEO of Blackstone Enterprises, she's built a world where no one gets close - and anyone who tries is crushed. But when threats start slipping past her security, the board sends her a solution she didn't ask for: Cade Wolf. Ex-military. Sharp-eyed. Silent. And not the type to take orders from anyone - not even her. He's supposed to be her bodyguard. A shadow in the background. But Cade sees what no one else does: the cracks in her armor, the pain she hides, and the war she's waging behind those cold eyes. They're complete opposites - fire and ice, control and chaos. But the danger circling them is personal. It's tied to both their pasts. And the deeper he digs, the closer he gets to the truth... And to her. Enemies are closing in. Secrets are bleeding out. And the one thing Isabella swore she'd never give - is the one thing Cade won't stop taking. A slow-burn, high-heat romance full of power games, dark secrets, and a love that could ruin them both.
