𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐃 #𝟐

(Book 2 of the Perfectly Imperfect series)

Valentina Salvatore has built her empire with discipline, ambition, and an unbreakable will. Poreless isn't just her skincare company - it's proof that she doesn't live in anyone's shadow, not even her powerful family's. But when anonymous threats begin circling her business, admiration turns into obsession, and safety becomes a luxury she can no longer afford.

Enter Ares Callahan - a man trained to protect, not feel.

Cold, controlled, and bound by rules he never breaks, Ares is assigned to guard Valentina at all costs. What he doesn't expect is her defiance. What she doesn't expect is the way his silence speaks louder than words. Forced into constant proximity, every glance becomes loaded, every argument laced with tension neither of them is willing to admit.

As the danger tightens and trust is tested, the line between duty and desire starts to blur. Ares knows falling for his client is forbidden. Valentina knows relying on him is dangerous - not just to her safety, but to her heart. And when the threat turns out to be closer than either of them imagined, guarding her life may cost Ares the one thing he swore he'd never give away.

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱 is a slow-burn bodyguard romance filled with romantic suspense, sharp banter, emotional restraint, and explosive chemistry. This is a story about protection that turns personal, love that fights itself, and two people who keep pushing each other away - until staying apart becomes impossible.
